    I posted this a day or two ago in the offroad section then realised this area would probably be a better fit although I can't figure out how to delete the post if someone can help guide me on that?

    Hello! This is my first post here on the forums, I did try and search before making a post.

    So I recently got a 2019 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab TRD Offroad it is/will be my daily driver but I got it to use as a truck when needed but also build it out to blend in overlanding with the daily driving.

    So I've had plenty of time to think through what mods I will add to the truck armor bumpers racks ect and I've figured most of that out (just haven't been able to do it yet)

    So I'm currently debating a 3inch lift kit(kings/fox most likely) with 33 inch tires OR 6 inch lift(probably the BDS/Fox kit) with 35 inch tires.

    I will say I think the 6 inch lift/35s looks amazing!

    Fully built out from what I've gathered I would get roughly 14/15MPG with 33s (armor racks ect) and with 35s looking at 12/13MPG.

    I'm not really looking for opinions but facts about one system vs the other.

    I'm not big on the idea of having to chop/weld on a drop diff or the idea of a spacer lift, although from hours of research it seems like that would be the best 6 inch lift kit I could get. I think the 6 Inch kit is some strange hybrid coil over/spacer lift?

    Here is the 3 inch lift kit I'm looking at-
    https://www.bilsteinlifts.com/shop/...iVRic0TMnzrdD5l-TtZBe6zSobV5WVyUaAgnNEALw_wcB

    So from what I'm understanding is pros
    Pros-33 inch tires
    Cheaper cost
    Better ride?
    More wheel travel?
    Better MPG
    Lower center of gravity(although I Don't think the difference would be much between the two.)

    Pros-35 inch tires
    Looks way better IMO
    Good bit more ground clearence
    Can see over more vehicles when driving down the road
    More offroad capability

    So now onto the questions-
    1. Is it true that spacer lifts have a rougher ride then a coil over system?
    2. Will a coil over system have the same amount of "flex"/wheel travel as a spacer kit?
    3. Are coil over systems a more (quality) lift over Spacer kit.
    4. How will each of these systems handle a near maxed out Payload?
    5. Will a 3 Inch kit be near stock height when under a near max Payload? (I don't want to get a lift just to have it sit near stock height when loaded out)

    If anything I have stated is incorrect feel free to correct it with facts though please.
    Thank you!
