Another Annoying Lift Question Thread

Hey guys, I've been looking on and off at Toytec lifts. I back been back and forth with Kevin at Toytec and looked into various things. The route I'm thinking of going is the Boss option on all corners with Total Chaos UCA's. Has anyone had success or like a Boss lift? I was set on the Billie 5100's until Kevin pointed me away from them to the Boss setup or a possible Dakar and OME.

If I build up an lift myself it saves about $100 from buying the Toyotec built kit, but is short of a front diff drop. For a 2.5 - 3" lift is the diff drop really needed?

Lastly, I am pretty sure I know the answer, but I figure I might as well ask in the event that I'm wrong: For a 2" lift in the rear will I need to have extended brake lines?

 

NO diff drop
