    as far as off roading and wheeling with a drop bracket 6" lift what are everyone's thoughts? Is it better to offroad with a more stock setup?

    Drop Bracket lifts are generally not advised for actual wheeling purposes. Better off with a 3 inch lift

    Plenty of guys wheel with DBs. All depends on terrain and what kind of offroading you want to do

    @Unchained 5150 by three inch lift are you referring to the coil spacer lift?

    He meant coil overs. Spacer lifts are crap

    Since you have a prerunner, you can do Maxtrac spindles and get your lift that way. Plenty of guys run them.

    You've got a pre-runner and you live in socal, no?

    You're in the high speed wheeling mecca of america.

    set up some nice extended travel coilovers, and mob that thing through the desert like you stole it.

    There's nothing wrong with drop-bracket lifts per-se; but given those circumstances, it doesn't seem like your most optimal choice.
