    Hey guys,

    I have an 04 taco with the 6 inch fabtech lift. Looking into different thingsfor new front suspension options. Was thinking the eibach/bilstein 3.5 inch strut with a 3 inch puck for the front? Idk if thatll work though.

    Any opinions or other options would be awesome thanks!

    Chris

    Won't work. The geometry of the front end can only handle 3.5" lift max with stock control arms. My personal opinion is that you don't want to go over 3". Also,These trucks will do just about anything with 3" lift IMO

    Okay. I understand, but the thing is i have a 6 inch drop bracket lift with a fabricated spindle. So geometry is "factory" on paper with this lift kit.

    Oh i see, so you're keeping the drop bracket. I don't see why that wouldn't work. Does your fabtec lift come with a 3" spacer already?

    Yeah unfortunately it would be far too much fabrication work and time to go back to stock :(. And no it doesn't. It came with extended length shocks that used the factory coil. Rides super stiff.
