08 Taco V6 timing

Hey guys, I just bought a 08 taco, and I was wondering if the V6 still uses a timing belt like the 3.0 and 3.4? I was looking around in the engine compartment and I didn't see a cover? Also, has anyone lifted there Taco? If so what lift did you use? And are you happy with it? Thanks.

I used a Skyjacker 3 inch lift, which came with new front struts, rear springs, and rear shocks. It was easy to install (the only special tools I needed were coil spring compressors) and the truck handles and tows better than stock.
