Best Way to add lift to a 6 inch kit

I’m kind of new to the truck scene and don’t know a whole lot about suspension stuff. I’m thinking about getting a 6 inch zone lift and want to add another inch or two on top of that while maintaining safe angles and decent ride quality. What is the best way to do this without breaking the bank?

 

Find another truck then a Tacoma. Just being honest these trucks , 6 inch lifts ,and ride quality dont go together. 3 inch max.

 

The only way to lift 6" while retaining good geometry is a drop bracket lift. To my knowledge, Rough Country makes the only one for these trucks. This requires cutting out your stock front crossmember, so it's pretty permanent.

You'll get a bit of hate from this site for 3+ inch lifts, but it's your truck do what you do!

 

The zone is a drop bracket kit

 

I was thinking about some adjustable bilstein 5100s for the front but I didn’t know if there’s a better method of getting more lift

 

That’s the way guys with show trucks would do it. Are you planning on wheeling this truck or is it gonna be a pavement princess?

 

Maybe try a 3" lift with 5100s and add a leaf plus a body lift to get the rest. Should be able to get 4-6 inches that way

 

mostly pavement besides on the weekends at my hunting lease where there’s a little bit of mud but not wheeling for sure

 

I asked because there is no performance gain going to the 6” kit plus the fact if you wanna undo it down the road it’s a royal pia.

 

Not too worried about that, honestly just going for looks

 

Then go for it. Then yes the 6” drop bracket kit, plus the 5100s is one way to do it. You could also use and adjustable coilover and set it for 1” of lift by moving the collar as needed. Just depends on what you wanna spend on coilovers.

 

Or this ^^

 

Who makes it? I haven’t seen one around.

 

Ok so I won’t have any fitment problems? I heard doing that with that kind of lift it risky because it has strut spacers and I just want everything to fit right when I take it to the shop.

 

Thanks man, can just get the 6 inch kit alone and see how it is

 

Why do you want to go over 6 inches? That will likely reduce your ride quality. Since you are going for looks almost any commercial kit will work fine and still give you a decent ride.

 

I say go for 10"

 

I say go for 14", same as extended coilovers. extra long travel

 

It’s no different than placing the spacer on top of the factory coil. Personally I’d use adjustable coilovers if you went that way. You could also get full length coilovers for a 6” kit and adjust those to yield an extra inch. Put the 6” kit by itself and see want you think.

 

Don’t think my gas tank would be happy
