    Tax money is in and I'm ready to Blow it!

    Looking at the Pro Comp 3" with coils shocks and rear block
    Also looking at the Toytec Bilstein lift with coils and AAL in the rear.

    Truck is a 2012 DCLB TRD Sport

    I'd like opinions from those who have these Lifts and possibly pix if it's not a hassle.

    I plan on running 17" rims with 4.5 backspacing and 285/70r17 tires.
    Alignment is a concern of mine. Chopping cab mounts is something I will not do.

    Any info will be greatly appreciated as my brain is having a meltdown after reading so many posts and it's all mixing together leaving me lost.

    Here's my truck today

    I could do the toytec ultimate but I'd have to use stock rims with spacers. Can't blow to much $$

    I have the toytec lift you're talking about, I'm halfway done putting it on with my 285/75r16s.. So far I'm more than pleased, the products I received were quality and I got it in a timely manner, the customer service was great and the price wasn't bad either.

    I bought everything today. Wheels tires and lift.

    I took note of everyone's advice, I didn't get the pro comp lift,
    I did go a little cheaper on rims and tires but I had to in order to buy the lift

    I got it from toytec it's the bilstein coil over 3" lift everything comes assembled like the ultimate except I just don't have the ability to adjust while it's on the vehicle which is fine by me.

    Hopefully it All goes well, I'm excited!

    Toytec 3" with Bilstein 5100s all around the AALs were the hardest part. I put the spidertrax spacers on and I have plenty of room behind the wheels, touched without em, and the tires are 285/75 Kumho road venture mt

    That looks bad ass. I'm excited for mine to come in. I ended up buying the toytec bilstein coil over kit. Not the Ultimate, that was $200 more.

    I initially had bought the trail grappler tires in a 285/70/17 but was there yesterday and decided to swap to the toyo open country AT2's. They said the toyo's last longer.

    You don't really notice the difference it makes until you have it beside a stock one.
