Anyone w/ 8 inch lift on 3rd gen taco? Help

I wanna lift my truck 8 inches but company’s offer only 6” besides bullet proof 10&12 . Would I have to buy a 6 inch lift kit and max coil overs in from and add a additional block in the rear?

 

Um...maybe get the 6" and a body kit? Maybe 6in and spacers/blocks? I think you'd be better off with the 10" and using what the company that makes it recommends rather than 6" and adding more stuff. Also, if you get the 6" you're gonna have to add bigger tires or you'll look funny, probably 35s. Those 35s will give you lake another 2-3" of lift giving you the 8" total. Then again you're also gonna need some nitro 5.29 gears because your truck is gonna be slow af.

 

Welcome to TW

 

Common question, I think the answer is maybe.

 

I would say the best answer is go for it and make a thread where you keep us updated.

 

I was thinking about a 10” but not sure yet . But I defenetly want to stay away from a body lift

 

Get the 6" and the tires, atleast thats what I would do if I wanted that much lift.

 

Not my picture but seen this on another forum. & is the kind of look I wanna go for

Planning on buying 22x14 w/33’s

 

33's will look wayyyy too small. On the BDS Suspension 6 inch lift with fox coil-overs you can max those out to 7 and a half inches. I would run ATLEAST 35's but would FOR SURE run 37's. 33's will look like garbage go with 37's and some 5.29's.

If I max out the coilovers in the front for that 7.5 would I have to add a bigger block in the rear ?

 

Just cut out all that useless metal and stuff under the truck. Then it looks higher and with the weight off it will sit so so much higher. If you can get rid of the heavy stuff like the motor and drive train, seats and bumpers the stance will melt any onlookers for sure.

Post pics when you’ve done the cutting of your new truck.

 

Why you wanna stay away from a bodylift?

 

I am not exactly sure. He posted on his instagram when maxing out the coil overs so check the comments because I think he explained how he got his level.

 

You can do a frame cut and cut the bottom half of your frame where nothing is mounted on to. This will give you more clearance and better off road capabilities. Who needs a rear axle if you have 4x4? Just let the front tires do all the work.

 

Aloha Nahaku808, There is a 6” lift thread on TW where you will find all the guys running drop bracket lifts and they are the best ones to ask about big lifts. A couple things to remember - the truck is 2” lower in the front stock so if you lift it 6” in the front you only need to lift it 4” in the back to be level. You really don’t want to exceed a 4” block in the rear because the axle roll becomes horrible. If you want to go higher than that in the rear look at a custom leaf spring pack from Alcan or Deaver.
