The difference between cheap lift kits and the expensive ones ?

Okay can anyone tell me the difference between the 3” lift kits that cost 1200 bucks and the ones that cost between 3-5k ?

Also I hear many many guys saying just get Billstein 5100 shocks and some leaf springs and blocks.

What’s the deal ?

 

I have Bilstein 5100 on my current Tacoma,and had them on my old 2006 Tacoma,you really dont need anything else,those upper cost suspensions I am sure are a little more rugged and nicer looking,but they should be for 6-10 times the cost,most guys like me that do some off roading,hunting ,fishing don't need anything more than 5100's which by the way are very nice shocks.And yes I can afford any suspension system made,so my decision had nothing too do with cost.

 

$1700 - $3800

 

Intended use and durability?

 

I really just want to be able to put a bigger tire on my truck
I like the look of 33” tires with a nice wide stance.

 

If you like wide try this
