Owners with 6" lift kits!!!!!!

Looking to install a 6" lift. Can you guys give me your horror stories or the brands that you have had a great experience with? Install stories are appreciated as well. Thanx MAX

From what I hear you should stay away from superlifts. Personally I would stay away from the procomp because its basically a big autospring lift. If I were you I would go Rancho or Fabtech.

Maybe this has something to do with it?

That would make a great picture for ebay too! Along with a description how the truck has been babied and the miles are only highway miles.

I love my fabtech lift. It performs well and looks better than the other lifts (crossmember).

i love my fabtech as well. i offroad my truck hard as well. Like above i have jumped my truck... My buddies has a supercrew 4x4 as well with the procomp kit and he has acutlly managed to bend the subframe a bit where as mine is still straight as can be... Im glad i spent the extra $200 on the fabtech kit.

ride quality on my fabtech is great! as good as stock if not better. Part of this goes to my toyos. The tires will make or preak the ride quality. The toyo mts are one of the best mts out there

Looks like Fabtech is the way to go.

1 More question What would be a nice rim size and backspacing to be able to run 35's ans have the tire tucked as far in the wheel well with no rubbing?
