    x2. Why waste your time and truck with a drop bracket kit when you can get spindels that you can get sweet lift without having to cut up your crossmember. and with a spindle lift you gain true ground clearance, with a 6" drop bracket lift you only gain 3" of lift...

    I personally am a fan of less wheel and more tire...I think 16s are perfect...no matter how big the lift :eek:

    lol. I guess what I should have said is I spend a lot of time on the interstate and this is my only vehicle. I want it to look good but I also want it to handle "the best it can" on the highway.

    Man that is nice! See that is the amount of tire I want. I like the way that looks man. 3" lift would save me about $2k and it would still have a great look. Also I would feel like less of a DB by lifting my truck 3" instead of 6" since it's a prerunner...

    I'm putting on 33/12.5/20 with a rcd lift ... I don't get why people hate 20 so much. If you go to ur local Toyota dealership I bet you fined 20 on a stock Tacoma. This 2011 not 80s 90s anymore ....

    if you actually use your truck off-road, 20inch wheels is the the most impractical thing ever as mentioned before.

    it all depends on what the driver wants though, the only offroading i do is driving aroung the farms that my family owns. other than that my truck doesnt see many trail. however if i was doing more offroading i would have went with 18 and 33's

    Lol so 2011 means you need 20" rims? Some of us still go for performance over looks. People hate them because it is solely for looks. To me 20" rims on a truck says "I know my truck doesnt handle as good anymore, but I care more about how I look"

    Well I understand that but. I hate when I ask people something and tell them what I want to do. I get thats dumb or why u want to do that and it comes from the poeple that do the off roading ... I won't be doing any off roading might take thur the field but that's it. If have money to blow then off roading cool that's the most easy way to F up at truck. I'm just sayn most trucks now a days come stock with 20s thats all I'm saying not here to bash on anybody.
