Default Body lift opinions... - 05-10-2007 , 12:49 PM






Do it or not?

Right way vs. Wrong way?

Experiences, opinions, suggestions welcome.

Truck in question is a
1998 Taco Ext Cab 4x4 SR5-3.4LV6
has 32s under it with a coil-over lift, wanting to look at
Pro-Comp 6" + 1-2" body lift.

Thanks for your time...

I would tend to look at your % of time on road to off road. Sure a lift kits
works well off road but stuffs up your on road handling by a HUGE amount.
If you willing to accept that the road trips will take longer and be a tad
less safe then go for it.

PS a Body small lift as well as a small suspention lift is often the best
way as theres not to many dramas such as extending shocks, brake hoses etc.

It's a second vehicle, been paid for for several years, only taken off
road lightly, until recently... I wanna get it more 'ready' without
hurting it's reliability and longevity down the road...

I'm ordering the Pro-Comp 6" lift, and some other stuff to aid in the
process, just thought while I've got a friend or two over, might want
to have them grab a corner

Thanks...

I would argue against any body lift that exceeded 2 inches.
