Fabtech 6 "

Anyone have the 96+ tacoma 6" on a 3rd gen 4Runner ? I am looking into this and im wondering if I have to buy the complete kit or If i can get the front end. It was suggested to get the all pro leaf kit for the rear. Is there anyway to cross refrence some coils for a 6 " ? thanx in advance !

To get 6" out of the rear you would need new rear linkages that were longer. The linkages are too short for that much I think

Feel free to check out my site: www.toy4runner.com I have all of the install pics of the rear lift.

Fabtech only sells the complete kit. the rear kit has blocks anyways, so just ebay them or something. Also you will need the Pro Comp extended brake lines.

another way you can lift your truck is buying a Pro Comp Tacoma front kit only and then do all pro for the back or somethign else. I hope this helps.

you should be able to clear 35's with your fabtech lift and the all pro kit. www.allprooffroad.com tell them Greg from toy4runner.com refered you. they will set you up. order the 4" leaf spring kit and i think it will give you enough lift in the back... 4+ shackles is about 6" total

downey spacers with your stock suspension in the rear will not be high enough.. only way to do it keeping your rear suspension, is having all custom linkage made for teh height you want.

You cant stack the Fabtech lift with the downey lift. I already looked into that. If your looking for a good IFS lift, get the fabtech kit.
