You will need brake lines, possibly a modified steering linkage depending on what year and model you have as well as a differnet front driveshaft if it is four wheel drive, and longer shocks as yours will be too short. Hope that helps and good luck

Hey,
YOur right on you do need a suspension lift but I am pretty sure that your front lift will come in the form of coil overs like in this ebay auction-

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33585

Although I am not sure on the rears as I have not played around with many 2000 models. They could be either way. But as you said you do not want a body lift. I really do not like body lift kits. Just my personal opinion but in case you were wondering. Hope it works out for you man.. keep me posted.-Sampson

I just put a 3'' lit on a 01 Tacoma, and some of the problems that I incured were a bad vibration in the rearend. It turned out to be a carrier barring, but I put shimms on it before I found out it was the carrier barring. With a 6'' lift I would besure to get some shimms.

DUDE....dont listen to any of those jokers. They obviously had no idea what they were talking about. You say 6" lift right. For a Tacoma...Im not sure about the year but Fabtech makes a pretty stout lift kit for Tacoma's...Im not into IFS, I chopped mine. But i do have a buddy that has a 03 tacoma with the Fabtech 6" and it is pretty decent of a lift..He runs 35" All terrains.I dont think drivelines are a problem i mean its IFS the pumpkin dosent go up and down like a solid axle. It is bolted to brackets that are bolted to the frame so its dont move. If Fabtech is like 02 to current. I dont know what to tell you. I dont recomend ProCrap or TrailDisaster. I worked and still work in 4 wheel drive shops and am a wheeler myself. I have heard and seen some pretty insane stuff. I never knew metal could bend in so many ways. I could only recomend at that point go to a site i think these people have it http://www.allprooffroad.com or http://www.marlincrawler.com one of those to i think make long travel IFS. it is pretty stout stuff so thats my .02. Do what you like.

what size tires you looking to fit? if at all possible, i would try to keep the lift size down as to not raise your center of gravity. if your going for 35's i'd just get a 4" suspension, and get a 2 inch body lift from roger brown, http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...it.shtml#FAQ10

body lifts aren't a bad idea, especially the way ifs is designed. Many IFS lifts require less backspacing on the wheels to clear the dropped A-arms, this in turn pushes the wheels/tires out farther from the body, making tire/body contact more of an issue. so if you get a 4 inch suspension, then a 2 inch body lift, rubbing won't be a issue, i just wouldnt get a body lift if you planned on jumping your truck, and if you planned on jumping it, theres other things i would strengthn before i do that. or, get a 4 inch suspension, and then get some bushwackers and trim the fenders and put the bushwackers on. theres many ways to accomplish what you want, the main thing is to keep the weight low to the ground to avoid roll overs. big lifts are cool to look at if you want to make a mall-crawler but a good lift setup for a functional truck is better and safer. also, your gonna have to regear your axles for the new tires, probably another 1000 bucks or else your gonna lose rpm and power.
also, lifting your truck that high, your gonna have issues with your cv angles.
you can get a differential drop kit here: ( www.cornfedsuspension.com)

there are many different options you can take, and alot can be cheaper than a 6" fabtech. try going to customtacos.com great website for what your looking for.
