should i go higher?

Okay i have been thinking about putting a higher lift on the taco for some time now. I already have a 3" lift that has been on there for a little over a year now. I have heard going higher than a 3" is a pain and a lot of work is involved unlike doing the 3". I have a mechanic that is very capable in doing it, thats all he does at toyota is lifts on the FJs, tacomas and tundras.
Im kinda undecided right now and just need opinions from others. Provided a more recent of the taco below

 

Im not a fan of brop bracket lifts but if you want to do it then go ahead.

you dont really gain any ground clearance from a 6" lift, they are mostly for looks.

 

Anything over 3" on a Tacoma just doesn't look right, imo.

 

If u have someone to do it I would got bigger. I love the way mine looks with the 6" lift

 

Its really up to you. There are some that will say they hate 6inch lifts, and some people love them. I think 6icnh kits look badass, especially with 34s or 35s. But you are gona loose power, especially on the highway, if you dont regear. Just be aware of that. Good luck with your decision!!

 

are you planning on running bigger tires with the 6 inch lift? If so, you will probably want to re-gear. Just something to factor into your decision. Re-gearing is about the same price as a good 3" lift. $1500-2000.

 

well i was thinking on re-gearing just for the fact that I will be towing sooner or later with the truck. If i did a bigger lift, i might go slightly bigger with the tires nothing outrageous.

 

RCD makes a 4.5-5 inch lift that you could still use 33s with...

Here is solus' build. He has the RCD with 305s i think.

If you're going to go taller, go long travel

Otherwise, I'd stick with the 3". You could always upgrade the 3" lift for better ride quality if you're set on sinking some money into your suspension. Looks like you've got a decent lift kit on there now though. Maybe a supercharger is in your future, just think of the money you'll save by not having to regear...

 

Your truck looks awesome! I have had some high lifted toys in the past.
If you drive your truck alot, like everyday, or are towing over 2000lbs, I would stick with the lift you have. A heavy trailer (without trailer brakes) behind a 6" lifted Tacoma and fast braking can make you pucker up real quick like! Oh just do it! No bumper height laws in Delaware. Sky's the limit!

 

your truck looks great as is bro. I wouldnt go higher it can cause more problems.

 

looks great

 

6" lift is the mall crawler look my .02¢

 

can u post pic of front of truck?

 

There is a guy around me that did a 6 inch lift installed for $1500 which is a bit high. He put 35's on it and should have had it regeared by now. It definitely looks good, I dont know how beneficial offroad. His is def mall crawler status though............ really clean. It really looks good and I bet you could pull it off with your truck. Its all up to you. If you go 6 inches though you should get 35's I think.

 

leave it as is. put the $ in to different areas of the truck.

 

What would you add for the money??? That s alot of money ........ how about a supercharger??

 

x2... best drop bracket lift...6" looks awkward


...btw... see sig

 

Absolutely .. SC'ing =

Upgrade the speakers/radio, stainless brake lines, exhaust, interior work, or, if she is in to the car show scene, some polished or powdercoated bits for aestetics.

 

True....... the show them seems right..
