    ok, so this year im planning to get a 3" lift kit but not sure on which one. not looking for anything expensive as im just wanting that look and maybe a little off road use every now and then. now im stuck between the rough country, tuff country, pro-comp(a little out of price range). now my question is for those of you who has these or have had them on your truck. which would you choose or which has the better ride. ive read up on them also but still cant really make my mind up.

    honestly the pro comp is the best of those because there is no blocks but the rough country for what you need it for will be the best bang for your buck maybe buy a AAL instead of the rear block but that's my 2 cents

    pro-comp is what i wat but like i said, its out of m price range since i have other parts on the list im wanting to get unless i drop one of them then maybe but as of now. i guess itll be the rough country. then maybe do the AAL in the future i guess. thanks for eberyones input

    2014 TRD Sport with 3" Rough Country Lift, 285/70/17 BFG Rugged Terrains on Dick Cepak DC-2 wheels, Westin Gen-X Nerf Bars. Got it new late Nov 2013, been modding ever since. Think I'm done, got a Bak Industries Roll-X tonneau cover, all weather mats, AVS hood and window deflectors, remote start, and bed lights. Last mod is addition of Homelink/Compass/Temp mirror, almost ready to buy it. I love the Rough Country lift, I wanted the same as you, the looks, never really offroad, but I do have a travel trailer to camp with, that's about all of the offroading I do. Like that this kit maintains the stock ride, the shocks that come with it seem nice too.

    hows the ride and do you know the price. kind of set on a price range but wont mind going a bit over if its a good kit.
