    Okay I know there are alot of choices out there. I dont want to go 6 because I know of issues other friends have had later on down the line. Anyone have any suggestions to get to 4 or 5 inches? I've got an '18 crewmax.
    I've been told there is a Zone 5" that looks good.

    I’m thinking of going to 6”. What issues have you witnessed? I’m curious as it would help me figure out the longevity of the lift. And sorry I don’t know much about lifts but good luck.

    I'm on year 3, and 20k miles on 2018 with Pro Comp 6" lift and I have ZERO ISSUES. I get the alignment done about every 10 months and all is good!

    On a tundra, 4/5 is the same as going 6. You’ll need a drop bracket lift and new uca. What issues are your friends having? If you’re worried, look at going 3” and squeezing 35s on it. Some have done it. I think someone even has 37s.

    It's good
    UCA is the upper control arm. Often needed on lifts 3" or so and up for geometry and alignment

    Gotcha. And I'm having some sounds that don't sound good coming on turns going to the left jnder 30mph and at about a 1/4 turn. So that's another reason I haven't made the move
