    Hi all! I'm new to Tundra and the forum.
    I have recently purchased 2014 tundra Trd off road, and I'm looking for 6" lift kit.
    Also, if anyone knows a good shop for installation in south Florida please let me know

    why do you want a 6 inch lift? and what size tire you planning? You realize you can fit 35s with just 2.5-3 inch lift? And did you know six inch lifts require cutting of the trucks crossmember?

    No, I didn't know that.
    I have seen a car locally that I would like to match.
    I have stock 18" wheels.

    Well look at the wheel/tire and suspension forum here for more info on the different types of lifts, pros/cons and tons of pictures of different setups.

    six inch lift would need at least 35 inch tires to look right. 35s will not clear using the stock 18inch wheels and a six inch lift, would likely hit the UCA, so you would need rims with less offset or you could use quality wheel spacers. 35inch tires often need a body mount chop to stop rubbing in that area as well.

    It's good
    I don't see much utility in a 6" lift unless the goal is to spot some mini skirts in convertibles. Just my thought...
