    No I didn't think about a spindle lift. How does that ride? I'm sure I will get some hate posts on here but my taco is a prerunner and is going to be a street queen so I want it to ride as smooth as possible.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    If you want it to ride as smooth as possible don't lift it 6" and put 35's on. Your ride is not going to be that smooth with beefy ass tires.

    Yeah man there i no point to lifting 6" and putting 35's for street driving if you want a good ride. If you get lift spindles and a spacer you can get almost 6 " for cheaper and throw an add a leaf in the rear instead of the basic blocks that come with 6" kits. You could even fit 35's with spindles and spacer. And please don't go bigger than 18! haha

    If you want it to ride nice and smooth trade your truck in on a Lincoln town car or something like that:eek:. Trucks are supposed to ride a little rough, thats why they're trucks. Except for those pansies that buy Cadillac EXT's and Lincoln Mark LT:D.................. Just pokin fun

    Seriously though I'd stay with 16's and 35's. Bigger rims just make you look like a poser. Your either a wanna be gangster with the wrong vehicle. Or a wanna be off roader with the wrong wheels
