Swap 3" lift for 6" lift?

Currently have a 2012 crewmax tundra on 37" tires, with a 3" lift using Toytecs 2.5" coil over kit. I also have JBA UCA, Icon wheels, BMC, high clearance front bumper, and front sway delete.

Im thinking about going with a 4" or 6" lift though. Would like to keep the current coil overs if possible but have no idea if they can be used on either of the lifts. I see kits with spacers and coil overs offered with the lifts but they dont really specify what the length on the coilers are, that I can find anyway.

 

The spacers that come in the 6” bracket lift kits are generally for factory shocks. If you’re already have 3” of lift, it won’t work with those spacers. You’ll likely needs some 1.25” or so spacers to use your existing coilovers vs. the 3-4” tall ones try at come with the kits.

 

Ok so that makes sense. They do look awfully long. When I bought my truck it had 2-3" spacers already on the front. I removed those but still have them in the garage. I could probably use those with my new coil overs to make it work. What would need to be done to the rear. New shackles?

 

Better off with a new leaf pack. Shackles will get you some lift at the cost of potentially flattening out your springs when towing heavy. Blocks get you easy lift at the cost of increase in axle wrap. Kits usually come with blocks. Boooo.

 

So with a new leaf pack I can maintain my tow capacity and get the lift needed?

 

Absolutely. The new leaf packs can be ordered for your specific needs. Some want lift and more off-road articulation. Some want lift and more ability to bear weight without squatting. Just need to order the ones that do what you want.

 

Fantastic! Have any brands you recommend?

 

Many on here have good luck with custom packs from Deaver or Alcan.
