Why?? Is rough country really that bad.

 

And Yhea my grammar I wrote it real quick while I was in my lunch break

 

It's considered pretty bad.

More importantly: you're 4WD that means for a 4"or 6" lift you're doing a drop bracket which has many other issues associated with it. You essentially guarantee anyone who spots your CV axles will at your "rig." 3" is the top end of a lift on a 4WD and comes with many other concerns as well.

If you want it to "look cool" go for it. If you want it to perform well keep searching.

 

None of the above... 3"

 

Thanks for that

 

It really comes down to looks vs. function. A couple of my friends have Tacomas with DB lifts, the ones that wheel, wish they would have gotten a quality 3" lift from the get go.

 

Everybody is gonna tell you not to do a drop bracket cause that's their preference. Honestly, just go the 6" but I wouldn't put rough country on anything I own.

 

I was originally going to go with a lift from toyo tech website. I think it was bilstein up front and a block at the back, but once I heard I can get some money off of rough country products, I was like let's save so money and look good.

 

people on here really against DB lifts. i would have gone DB if i had the money to regear, buy 35"s and all the other cost of it. Plus the install of a coil over lift is a lot easier.

 

I have a fabtech 6" with drop bracket its a real head turner and doesn't do terrible off-road i have upgraded suspension such as full length coilovers DONT USE STOCK STRUTS! camburg UCAs ome rear leaf springs to use smaller lift block RR shocks I wouldn't use my truck to go on anything crazy but it does anything and everything out here in NM mainly camping and the puerco. go with quality products with any route you go i would not go with rough country just personal opinion. you CAN have lift and similar performance why not get the best of both worlds?

 

The risk with a drop bracket is you save a relatively cheap component cost (CV axle/boot) by risking a far more expensive component (front differential). You're also the target of eyerolls by people "in the know" it may get you stares from "DIRTEE MUNEEEE" guys but those of us with dirt on our tires aren't impressed.

 

the DB keeps the cv axle under less stress as to coil lift? fab tech leaves suspension geometry same as stock so what would be stressed and diff drop kits were made to correct that issue?

 

Sure. So you can save your CV axle/boot and instead damage the differential while offroading. Don't see the trade off, yet?

 

i do see concern and i do see personal opinion being a major factor because (in the know people) have personal opinion in their vehicles as well as lifted mine has had dirt on the tires plenty of times and has had not one issue with the DB lift it just comes down to personal opinion.
