    Can a 09 toyota tacoma get a 6 inch lift? I have heard that you cant because of the VSC Vehical Stability Control. I really want a lift and should i just saw skrew the VSC or is there one that is compatible with it? :confused:

    Yes you can do a 6" on a VSC, you just need to run 18" wheel or bigger.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    can you add a 3" BL....yes....should you.....probably not. you would even be better off getting a basic 6" lift. horror stories out there of BLs causing nastiness from snapped body mount bolts to the BLs themselves cracking

    eww that dont sound good at all, i know i have the rough country 3 inch suspension lift level kit, now what would be the best way to gain the extra 2-3 inches now. can you stack on the front or not a good idea the back im not worried about i can add. i dont know im just guess i want a bigger lift i do fine but i was now thinking maybe a lil more clearance id be like super great and then when i have to replace my 33's oi can go with 35's or something lol

    I sure like the looks but cannot sacrafice power or mileage and performance.

    Any loss of power?

    How is your gas mileage?

    Any issues with alignment, toe, caster? Vibs??

    u can run procomps 6in lift. they made new updates to the front sway bar brackets so they wont rub on tires and the spindles/knuckles are newly designed for taco's with VSC. u can run 17's but they need a certain backspace for clearance issues with the steering end links. just get 18s. is wat i did. on 33's
