Lift Suggestions

For that price a full OME kit is definitely the best bang for the buck. Toytec Ultimate is a good option too, but research leads me to believe OME is a step up from Billy 5100s.

 

what is the rear aal? Dont I need a diff drop? i have a 4x4 model

 

There is a price break when you buy the full kit.
Plus we offer a forum discount on top of that.

 

The AAL is an Add A Leaf which will give you your rear lift.
If you go with a full 3" lift up front, we highly recommend the use of the diff drop kit.

 

What do you mean?
OME is Old Man Emu by ARB.
5100's are made by Bilstein.

 

I got a good deal on my Old Man Emu from Go Overland.

still doing a bit of research...what control arms do you guys suggest?

 

pretty much any "uniball" control arm is best. ball joint control arms reuse your stock joint, better to upgrade fully than half ass IMO.

but as far as a cheaper price point...

Built Right UCA's are around 480$ (uniball) and there are light racing for about 20-40$ cheaper. (ball joint)

most other uniball UCAs will be around the 600+ mark

 

do i need to buy UCA's if i get a 3'' lift? or is that personal perference?

 

Anytime you go over 2.5 inches you should probably upgrade your UCAs. I haven't upgraded mine and they are HURTING right now. Im trying to put it off for as long as i can, but eventually its going to catch up. If you have the extra cash for them i would do it now, if not you can wait a bit but eventually will need to replace them with something aftermarket.

 

I got some for you Jason.

 

what you guys think of the icon extended travel Coilovers

 

Haha i know! You better start saving for the LT kit foo! im ready to buy in a few weeks

There a great coilover

I think Kevin is running them so he might have better input

 

I love my ext travel icons now that they've settled!

 

is icons overdoing it for just street?

 

If you do no offroading at all than yes, I would say they are overkill.

 

Just an update..picked up the Toyotec Ultimate lift kit over the weekend for $800. Do i need to get UCA's? do it right the first time right?

Thanks!
