    The increased height of the vehicle changes the way it moves, compared to stock. The yaw sensors are similar to the sensors in your phone that let it sense if you're holding the phone sideways or upright. When you lift the truck it moves differently and the yaw sensors think the truck is sliding, or moving in some other way it's not "supposed" to move. This activates the vehicle stability control (VSC), which uses the ABS to help you "regain" control of your vehicle. On a lifted Tacoma the VSC can kick in on a curve when the road is totally dry and you're driving at a prudent speed. The ABS will try to "correct" the "problem" and try to pull you into oncoming traffic. This is a well-known problem with second gen Tacos. The good new is, there's an easy way to reset the VSC sensors.

    Ahh okay good, as long as there are potential options for the bumpers. Proper fitment of my armor takes priority over an extra inch of lift..

    If you get a body lift 4crawler is definitely the company to buy from... it's all they do and they have great customer service. I bought all of my stuff from them when I was removing my body lift and needed a back to stock kit.

    There's also kits to cover the spaces between the frame and the body. However, in my opinion, you'd be better off putting your money into a nice set of coilovers that you can crank up an extra inch or so.
