    i believe its a coil spacer and then a body lift. stay away from it

    well i just checked and they have one 6" kit listed above. they also have a db coilover kit. dont know anything about them or have any experience with them.

    I am unaware of there 6" lift package. However I used Tuff Country 3" lift on my Jeep Wrangler and it screwed that vehicle up so bad I ended up getting rid of it. The shop that installed it could not figure out the problems and TC customer service basically told them to go away.

    The Jeep pulled so hard to the right after install it would throw you off the road. No matter how many alignments they did or adjustments to sway bars it still pulled to the right.

    I got rid of it and now own a tacoma. Maybe a blessing in disguise.

    yea i have the fabtech and it rides very good and the cv angle is almost better than stock. but the fabtech drops the front diff down farther than the procmp

    alright well if i do get a six inch lift it will be the procomp basic kit. I am kinda having second thoughts on getting six inch though. If I did go six inch lift i would keep my same tires. Should i just get the toytec ultimate and a bumper or something like that? just want to know what you guys think

    If you dont have any lift right now and want to keep the same tires, then dont go 6", it will look retarded. Are you wanting 3" out of the toytec? That setup sounds good

    The RCD lift kit uses New Bilstein 5100 shocks that are much longer, and designed to go with the Lift kit. Instead of a large spacer and just using your factory shocks, like a lot of the other kits. So you get the lift and better perfomance as well. Also top quality design and parts with RCD.

    I already have 33s with 17" rims and spacer lift. I think that would be fine with the 33s, but im thinking about getting the toyec ultimate lift for a better ride and performance on and offroad. Anyway I could get to around 4" with toytec ultimate?

    no you can go over 3 inches with a non drop bracket lift. and even with three inches you would probably need new upper control arms, but you could go with the rcd to get the 4 inches :)

    if you can afford it and dont have an aal already id say ya go for it. itll take care of everything front and rear and then you wont have to worry about suspension components other than the ucas.


    just read that you do have the aal. check pricing on the whole kit, and on the front and rears together see what it comes out to. by the way what size aal is it? 1.5" and i think you should be good.

    If your going to get bigger tires, definitely go for the Pro Comp 6" lift.

    I have no regrets on the time & money spent on this Bad Boy - Killer Stance!!
