Should YOU buy a Rough Country 6in lift ?

Although Rough Country 6in lift kits are not the best, they are definitely good for the price that you are paying. I hope this video was helpful to anyone looking to lift their Tacoma 6in. If you have any other questions about my set up make sure you DM me on Instagram. Thank you guys for all the support, it really means alot to me. Stay tuned for more Tacoma content.

I love your truck man I have the same year 2017 TRD SPORT same lift mine just has a 3inch body lift as well I got almost 60k miles on mine and it’s daily driven and it is freaking great! I take it off road and daily it to and from work which is over 100 miles a day I have a pic of it in my handle but imma have to do a video on mine as well I love it man I’m glad to see someone else out there with the same lift as me keep up the great videos dude!!!

[@abr112010]

Man I’m in the 2023 Chevy Colorado group on FB with a bunch of old farts that make fun of people who get the RC lift. I’m glad you said what you said. RC is all I need for what I’m doing. 🔥

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

Yeah I don't see how anyone can insult somebody for putting $2,000 into their car or more I think they're crazy and I had a Rough Country lift on mine and it was just fine there was nothing wrong with it it was just spacers anyway the only reason I put Teraflex on the rear is because it lifted the rear more in because Rough Country didn't have a non-level lift

[@germanarrabal1529]

Great video and a very nice truck, I have RC 3" lift package in a 4R with Nitto 305, which rubs a little bit when backing up but no BMC yet, and mud flaps are still on. Considering installing this kit, it looks amazing.

[@rr7255]

Excellent info Bro, your truck looks awesome!

[@AD-uq4pz]

I love Rough Country 6 inch kits I have one on my 2007 Tundra and it transformed it into a BEAST! They are just as good as the other brands

[@philbuse5286]

Great video! I’m going to be doing the same to my 2016.

This surprised me how well the spacer kit performs Offroad, great review

[@caliboykev8224]

I got a quick question what if you buy the Tacoma from the dealership and have them lifted I was planning on doing the same thing when I buy my Tacoma

[@Lostsomewhereincolorado]

I hated my spacer kit it was such a rough ride especially on washboard roads, got rid of those bad boys for some 2.0 coilovers and rear shocks such a better ride quality on and off-road.

[@tudocervera3764]

Very helpful brother

[@rlenoxIII]

I have to tell you, I really appreciate your honesty and I couldn’t agree more on you take about the haters. The only I did hear you mention was on road ride and handling. Obviously 35” LT tires are gonna roughen up the ride a bit, what’s your take as far as a daily driving rig?

[@luisarroyo5168]

That's a dope Tacoma! I have a 2019 4x4 Off-Road that I am trying to work on. I'm also trying to decide between the 3.5 inch lift or a 6 inch lift.

[@colinarner790]

If you are actually using it for off-road, don’t do something like this, don’t get a drop bracket

Did you regear? How's the truck doing in this setup still? It looks awesome 35s with a 6 in looks so sick

I have the rough country 6” on my 2019 taco since the 2nd week I bought the truck @ 100miles, now 2023 j4 I’m currently at 25k miles and I love it. Haters are gonna hate. I’m running fuel shok 18s on 35s

[@imcam3083]

i’m thinking about getting a 6” for my 2018 sr5, u didn’t have to cut anything at all with the stock finder flares to fit the 35s?

[@officialmallcrawler]

Rough Country lift kit looks great.

[@nachodorito6955]

my Taco is a 4cyl and I wanted to lift it but I don’t want to spend all that to burn up the motor after just replacing a head gasket.

[@SEQUOIALOVER2002]

I can’t believe a company like rc would make you cut such a vital piece off your frame. What if you want to remove the lift? That’s shocking. But the lift looks good. And I’m gunna do it on my 4Runner😎

[@panagiotisf7228]

Does the truck feel slow with the 35s and no gears? I'm happy to see you wheeling decently hard on this setup does it rub when offroad ?

[@billygames7107]

[@montebeerbower7796]

I think it looks great. Plus I'd rather have 6 in lift also for looks. Hell I'm 60. Lol.

[@chinito20fam]

I dont need anything crazy plan to lift a 2003 dodge ram.. and now i think 6 inches is oerfect for things like what you just showed.. i plan to drive from Florida to mexico.. easy peasy to texas.. but passing the interstate man bad bumps and uneven lanes... And why i truly want to take it.. it pretty beat up.. but i plan to do 85 percent of the build in mexico.. 500 bucks or up to 800 if you really want it crazy can get you 3-4 coats of paint clear coat flakes and however cuatom you want the paint amd shine.. mo matter if normal boring paint or your show cars like candy red amd beach blue... Thanks for the info.. plan to spend a grand for insane led light for the the fromt headkight on the truck... Yes its oretty crazy . But aince i plan to drive around and explore more i want to show off. And just worry about speakers and all that later i just want performance.. and just for now ill get the 6 inch kit.. and down the road switch out the shocks with some fox shocks. Replace boring cloth seats and overall seats. With a nice 2017 seats in black leather oem. From the factory.. then getting custom leather for it which i can do in the future.. can make it in stock hieght to mexico but no realg fun.. clinching and holding the steering wheel for dear life if someone plans to do what you did in atock height 😧🤣 tha ks for the review cant wait to do mine amd get videos on it as well.

[@warsword2538]

Not bad, honestly I didn't think the rough country lift kit was very good but now I'm thinking it's not so bad.

what's the wheel offset? I know that plays a big part on whether it'll rub or not

[@jordannguyen2485]

Do you need to get new tires and wheels if you get a lift kit? Right now I'm running 285/70/R17 Baja Tires would it work?

Those wheels would work

[@thedude828-ed2nn]

Gotta get rid of those side steps they kill your clearance.

[@morningdrums]

does the sport come with lockers?

[@billygames7107]

I’m also wondering that. This is a 2017 I believe they don’t have lockers. Bummer, it would have done amazing with them where he was going..I’m getting this lift with the rear shocks on my 24 Ranger. I’m still debating on 33s or 35s… we will see. I’m going pretty aggressive on the negative offset so prob 33s…

Why aren’t you doing a re-gear?

What offset is the wheel

[@billygames7107]

Also wondering… ??

[@4bvenom733]

bruh...you know why it flex gonna rub and you gonna need the bmc. the truck look really stiff on coil no flex in the front

[@Toxic-FhuYu]

6” is pretty big, I want a 4” lift. 4 inches is pretty average

[@The_Goon3r]

😂

[@_rebel12_]

😂

[@billygames7107]

6 is pretty average honestly. Anything over 6 is big. This is as big as you can really go without modifying a ton..

[@bigballs1329]

Also no way it doesn't rub. Might not rub standing still turning the wheel on a flat surface, but it will rub driving.

[@RAMakaWERO]

Did u hear any rubbing while he was climbing that hill? I didnt

[@billygames7107]

What do you mean “no way” it doesn’t rub. There easily is a way. It’s lifted enough where it doesn’t. Boom! That’s the way* ✌🏼

[@sterlingturchin8256]

I got the rc 6 inch lift for my Tacoma and it rides terrible. Adjusting the damping setting on the coilovers literally makes zero difference. Would not recommend it. If I could do it again I’d just spend the extra money to get something nice

No

[@infiniteprojects808]

Rough country is actually not a 6 inch lift. It is their 4 inch lift. Your drop-down brackets are only 4 inches. The height is achieved by your 6 inch spacer which Max is out your angles on your lower control arms, upper control arms, and your front axles. But still very nice. Good job

[@DeepSnowRider]

Cutting your crossmember most likely ends your warranty. Just a bad idea if you want good resale value.

[@LiftWeightsLoveGod]

Won’t void your warranty, a dealer told me as long as it’s done by a professional it’ll be good.

[@DeepSnowRider]

@@LiftWeightsLoveGod I hear ya, I would feel much better about it if I had something in writing from Toyota or a Toyota dealer. what some guy says in person isn't something you can hold them accountable on. I just bought mt ted off-road jan 27th I had a Tesla model y for 11 months before that and a 2012 F-250 crew cab diesel with 6" lift on 37" tires for 7 years. im just trying to go the best way the first time. I only have 1645 miles on my truck and I can to the suspension install, I can cut and grind the cab mount for my buddy to weld the CRM as a pro welder. ditto ridge grapplers 35x11.5x17 is what im thinking for a 6" lift and 32.7x11x17 if I do the 3" lift both with a high clearance metal front bumper. if I go with 6" lift im getting the amp research electric steps if I go 3" lift rock sliders. my dad is 85 and he can just get in safely with a 3" lift but would need the amp research steps if I went above to 6" also rehearing comes into play with anything over 33" tires. I was looking for a 6" lift with 33" tires to see if that looks goofy or not but hard to find

[@billygames7107]

@@DeepSnowRiderI’m gonna do a 6inch on my 24 Ranger with 33s but I’m gonna have a deep negative offset so we will see. I bet it looks good and not goofy. If it does look bad I’ll go to 35s…if I can clear them of course.. I don’t really want to cut on my new truck but I will lol..
