    Yeah I personally probably wouldn't go with any bodylift ever... but with out tacomas the only way to achieve 6" lift is to do some pretty major and expensive surgery on your truck to get a full suspension lift OR do it with 3" of suspension and 3" of body spacer...

    When I bought my truck it had a 3" body lift on it. I can't stand body lifts so I decided to take it off. When I started to remove the bolts and BL spacers, the spacer all broke and a few completely disintegrated into dust. So I personally am not a fan.

    well i heard stories of body lifts being reall shitty so i kinda turned against it. but all in all man i had a 3 inch body lift on my older 95 hilux pickup and it didnt give me problems and i took it through hell too man . also it was easier doing clutch and tranny work. but i just rather have the look of all suspension. looks better. especiall y if you put nerf bars. looks cleaner.

    I saw his already it looks sweet. Anyone know where I can find a how to for a body lift or some instructions. I'm gonna get my uncle to fab some out of steel. I don't like the rubber or plastic kits.

    holy crap. body lifts look 100x more complicated to install than suspension. I'm almost willing to throw down the cash for a 6 inch suspension lift now. Thanks for the link redraider..
