    if your building a mall crawler 6" but since you clearly posted on this website and you have a 4x4 TRD off-road 3" will give you a slightly lower center of gravity which is better than the few inches of clearance you would get from a 6" lift

    Yep. 3" 35s here. Custom flares and cut fenders and a BFH. Check out my build if you want to know more. A few others with 35s and no glass around here too.

    And from experience, I wouldn't recommend 35's without re-gearing. If you run 35's with 3" lift and spacers you will rub. Without you can get away with no rubbing at full stuff.
