    Pop a Lock tail gate lock, Dee Zee Heavy Duty bed mat, Viper alarm system, Blacked out headlights, Blacked out tailights.
    Hopefully I'll be doing the 3in pretty soon. That's enough bro. You don't need the 6in.

    I would go with the 3" lift. Get some CO's and UCA's. You can fit 33" tires easily.

    anybody looking for a good 3" id go to toytec hands down. great customer service all the way through...i did the toytec ultimate lift and couldnt be any happier, but it was pricey compared to others. but remember with lifts, you really get what you pay for, i love the way mine handles on and especially off road...my friend has an OME lift on his rig and a third friend with spacers, and you can tell the difference from one to the next for sure....but the OME is a really nice set up too, i like it, but i like the ride on mine a little more for sure. im running 33/10.5's and never had any rubbing issues, even flexing through rocks or at full lock...not once. kinda makes me wish i woulda gotten 33/12.5's though...i would say go for the 3 for sure, mine gets me everywhere i want to go off road

    3" ftw! still looks good, not much comprise on mpg, ride comfort, less expensive and tons of small things.. for serious non daily driver though and with bigger budget, 6" is nice.. just do it right

    King 2.5" extended travel coilovers with compression adjusters, Camburg UCA's, King 2.5" rear shocks, TRD 1st gen CAI.
    6" lifts look weird on a small truck like a tacoma. they look good on full-size chevy's and ford's, but not mid-sized trucks. most 6" lifts are drop bracket lifts that suck anyways. a tacoma with TC spindles, coilovers and TC uca's with deavers will out perform a 6" drop bracket anyday.
