    Does this lift come with a ladder? Seriously tho how would u plan on getting in the truck everyday?
    Never heard of this lift so i cant say anything about build quality, but i will say i hope your ready for the problems that would come with any lift like this. Hope all goes well if you decide to go with it.

    I think the appropriateness of a foot lift depends on what else you plan to do.

    For example, lifting my Taco that much would look stupid because I have stock tires, wheels, bumpers, etc. You get my drift?

    What is your long term plan? Have you considered the cost to personalize the truck, not just the lift?

    We need details.

    I suppose 12 inches of lift...will give you a rise in your Levi’s as well!

    Those BP kits won't do you much good offroad. They look awesome, but there isn't much benefit given that you'd still only be able to fit a little over 35" worth of tire down there comfortably. But shit, if I had the money I'd do it in a heartbeat. If you need an offroading lift, stick with fabtech, procomp, Rough country, BDS ect. They all make great kits that look and perform the part.

    I had a 12 inch bulletproof on my last truck. Quality is great. I could do 100mph down the highway with it. It was on a F250, but still solid. I plan on putting another one on a tundra, for a shop truck. :D

    These are ugly, but they come in handy during floods.

    What makes you say that? I've had lift kits from both fabtech and procomp in the past. I have a Rough country lift on my 2015 right now and it rides great! Given I've got rid on the strut spacers, but that goes for any drop bracket kit really.

    I get it. To each his own. So MY opinion is what a waste of money. If you “need” to go that high off the ground then smoke better weed or by a full size off road pickup with a v-8. Something that won’t be bogged down and HP drained as this lift will suck the life out of your engine , tranny etc. I suppose you also with this lift want to tow a 30’ toy hauler? Sorry but you don’t put a size 14 shoe on a size 8 feet.

    Bulletproof is one of only a few companies that even offer lifts of that size and they have a good rep in mega lift world. Its your truck your money do what you like is my motto. That said Tacoma World is a really shitty place as far (in regards to lifts) that goes so many loathsome Debbie downers to remind you of how useless your truck will be. Which is really unique to this forum, hell there’s a perpetual turf war between the generations of Tacoma’s o_O WTF ...in the words of one Rodney King “can’t we all just get along” :hattip:
