I know this might be a stupid question but is it okay to haul loads in the bed of a lifted tacoma? The truck is lifted 6" suspension with a fabtech kit and 2" body. Please keep negative comments to yourself cause i'm a noob to trucks and dont know to much and am trying to find out answers to the questions i have. Thank you for you time and information.

 

You're very polite kid. Are you talking about towing a load or loading up your bed? I don't think you'll have a problem with either. I don't know much about the Fabtech 6", but know that there is a crossmember welded in place underneath (right?). I don't see it being any problem if installed properly. Maybe somebody who's installed the Fabtech can weigh in on this discussion.
The body lift shouldn't be a problem, unless the lift blocks have less surface area than the OE mounts did. 4Crawler has addressed this issue with his lift blocks, so it is really a non-issue in a RB kit. The bed never actually rested on anything beside those mounts in the first place, so you can load it up. The only issue you'll have is the PITA of lifting stuff into a bed that's 8" higher than stock (plus whatever height you gained with upsized tires).

 

thanks spindleshanks

Im more curious about loading the bed with things.

 

I would think you would be fine as long as you dont exceed the manufacturers weight recomendations. Take it slow as you have raise the center of gravity of your truck.
If you are cautious you should be fine.

 

thanks buck01

 

You'll be fine. I've got 5.5 inches of lift (3 of it being a BL), and I haul loads of mulch and topsoil without any problems, along with other things.

 

if you have a body lift, and you want to put heavy loads in the bed of your pickup, make sure you support the crossmember in the middle of the bed. This normally rests on the frame of the truck without a body lift, but sits above the frame (and provides no support) with the lift. .. the crossmember is usually in the rear wheelwell (you'll see it attached to the underside of the bed running parallel to the rear axel). If you don't your bed may buckle under heavy load.
