    Hey! I’m new to this forum but a Fb group recommended it! Below is a pic of my 2018 tundra. I bought it with the lift kit on it, I added the wheels and tires. I’m looking in the next year or so to swap lifts (currently it’s a fab tech 6” kit with around 80k miles on the lift) I’m looking to do a mid or long travel kit, but wanting to maintain 6” height if possible. Any recommendations?

    You won’t retain 6” lift with a long travel kit. I’d say the question is if you need long travel. The difference from mid travel to long travel is significantly different in not only performance but price.

    Considering it's already cut into for the bracket lift, you're sorta stuck with it unless you can weld or know a guy that can. Like reywcms said, you won't get 6" of lift out of a long travel setup, unless you do LT on a bracket lift like @Spvrtan did on Pluto.

    I'd start with what you're needs are first, and go from there. You can do mid travel and retain the 6" bracket lift, just don't expect everything to bolt on nicely without some gentle persuasion.
