    Hey guys!

    So I think I want to try and get a 6" lift, I believe my truck currently has a 3" which I bought that way, my rims are currently 12.5's, but I want to go to 14.5's, and my current set is low-profile, which doesn't really match the look I'm going for (But the gas mileage sure matches what I'm going for lol)

    What kit are you running with what rims?

    I am particularly favorable to black & red accents :)

    Can't wait to see what you all have and what steps are next to get there in my Tundra journey!

    So looking at the posts, it seems like at this point I may be best off rolling with the 3" lift, and swapping out my rims with low pro tires on them for a meaty regular size, the only concern I have is clearance for steering :monocle: I enjoy the functionality of a truck and the looks as well, and from what everyone's saying 3" is a good look, and it's functional while taking it easy on the suspension for pulling as well

    Just depends on what you want. If you don t know what you want then researching, and learning the pros and cons of the various lifts is helpfull. It took me about 4 months to decide on a 7" lift. I m happy with it. I did get a lift that I can lower though. I wanted to have that option. The one thing about my lift that took the longest to decide on was cutting frame. Many will not do this. Mine came out OK though.

    Mines is 7” with 33s on 24x14. Its a street truck with a stanced look. Im going higher with bigger tires soon. Most people on the forum got a 3” lift with 35s-37s. Go with what u want and what ur gonna use it for.
