    ^ what he said.

    The "best cheapest" is 5100s & AAL with stock could. The most you can hope for is 2.5" in the front and 2" in the back, but expect a rough ride with the preload shock & stock coil. It is worth the extra $ to get an aftermarket coil of your choice for the added front lift and comfort.

    5100s and OME's are great. I have 884s. A lot of guys go 885. Any higher and you'll need new UCAs.

    ^ Go with something better. Do it once, do it right.

    Best lift for the price in the full OME kit IMHO.

    P.S. - $2k for a lift with spacers?? :eek: The OME is roughly $1500 and you don't get blocks..Please don't go with Rancho/Rough Country..get a good, quality setup. You will thank me later..

    I just got my Light Racing UCA's in the mail today. The rest of my OME lift kit arrives Monday. Every off-road company in town, the Toyota dealer, and everyone on TW told me to go OME.

    If you go 3" you want to replace the UCA's based on what everyone tells me. Less than 3" (2-2.5") you can do the lift without UCA's. The standard coils for the OME kit are 885 (double cabs with no extra weight) or 886's (double cabs with steel bumpers). You can opt for 884's if you have an access cab or don't want as much front lift.

    Headstrong Offroad has treated me well so far. Marie over there was awesome to deal with on the phone and email so far.

    How far down the road?

    It will ride VERY rough without the weight on the front.

    I would get the 887s and then when you get the bumper get the 886s. Sell the 887s to help offset the purchase of the new 886s. They should sell pretty quick.

    Are you 1st or 2nd gen? (On Tapatalk) if you're 2nd gen (05+) don't waste your time or money.
