Need lift advice

Is there a difference between coil spacer lifts, and strut tower spacer lifts? Im really trying to decide what lift setup im going to go for, but theres way too many out there... I want something that doesnt make my truck handle like a cheap whore, and that gives me good on/off road performance. Around 2.5-3 inchs, preferabley no blocks, and a kit that has everything i need (dif drop, centering bolts, etc). Might go with new coilovers, but im kind of on a tight budget. I have an 01 double cab by the way. What do you guys think?

 

The in coil spacers are junk and they give a harsh ride from what Ive seen, the top of coil spacer like a billet spacer is alright, just depends how high your going, on a 4x4 i wouldnt recommend anything above 2.5 in the front, 3 inches is pushing it with the cv angle even with the diff drop, at 3 inches on mine with a billet spacer my suspension at full travel the upper balljoint actually touched the coil spring splitting the boot

 

True they both suck haha go with a coilover lift!

 

I've spent the last little while reading that TTORA thread start to finish. Any and all valuable info in that thread took a back seat to the 2nd to last post(post#108). What a waste of time.

 

ouch... well can i run ome coils on stock struts?

 

Damn.... that actually hurt. A little stab in the gut.

 

Yeah, he did have a problem with me, but oh well. I am here to help people out (the best that I can anyway) and be part of the community and NOT flame other members. I don't claim to know everything and I have actually learned a lot from older members such as you Chris. I am not sure if you realize it but you inspired me to push for the TSB AAL. Without this forum, and your wise recommendation, that product may have never been developed. I have been to many forums and I can proudly say that TW has the most genuine, kind, fun members of any forum.

To the OP, here is some very good basic information that I hope you will find helpful: (sorry to reference another forum but I have not found such a comprehensive unbiased post anywhere else)

I am a fan of the adjustable coilovers. For the Win.

 

if i get some ome coilovers with the 882 spring, do i need to do anything to decrease my cv/ball joint angles. It says the 882s will lift about 2.5-3 ".

 

does anyone know where you can get the ome shocks and springs as a combo, because the site is hella confusing...

 

should i go with the firm shock or the comfort shock with the 882 springs? will the firm shock and the 882s be to firm together?

 

but i have a double cab.... and i i dont want it to sag too much..
