    Ok I want to put a six inch suspension lift on my Tacoma and a three inch body lift so I can clear 37s. But I don't want a lift that involves welding or cutting of my frame. So any ideas of what suspension lift I could go with?

    A drop bracket will need part of the frame cut and a new x-member welded (depending on the mfg used)

    every 6" lift will require removing a crossmember for the drop bracket

    Probably, I don't research much on DB lifts. If you google the kit and include 'instructions PDF' it will come up and tell you

    Doubt you can fit 37s without hacking something on the truck.
