    Like the other dude said, if you want to stand out do a LT setup.

    First and one of the few ever times I saw one on the street, it was like seeing an exotic supercar.


    I would consider going LT but it's 100% overkill for my needs.

    Just ordered the bilstein 5100s today. Going to put them on sometime next week and see how much of a difference they make. What length coils should i get though?

    Just make it this high and clearly you win. Scratch that, why not just buy a tractor trailer, tip it on it's end and weld some wheels onto the back. sit on the top end and you'll be the highest truck around!



    Where is that headslap pic when I need it...

    9" lift?! Really? Everytime I see a ridiculously lifted truck I think they are trying compensate for something else :eek:. Its completely pointless other than to say "Well I have a 9" lift on mine". you cant load anything in the back of it, it handles like crap on and off road, wears out other vital components.. It's just for tire clearance? Get different tires..

    Wanna stand out? Fucking OnStar FTW.

    If you wanna go higher just buy a F250 and lift it like 6ft in the air, cuz I'm sure they make a lift like that for big trucks.

    All of you are acting like 3"s is overkill but its really not. this is my buds tacoma before he sold it and bought an f250. 12" lift on 38s.

    Also a Taco with a 3" lift is waaaay more capable than those stupid dumbass trucks. Theres no way any full sized truck would fit on the trails I go on...
