    Seems like it's a split between OME and Toytec. The only backing I see has just been from people who have a certain set up and know they like it. I'd actually be interested in hearing from someone that has ran both setups and hear their experience. It would also be nice if we could compare the actual 'specs' of each setup. (I'm being a little selfish here cause I'm trying to make the same decision as the OP but I'm sure he would like to know this too! :) )

    Total lift front/rear?
    Allowable travel?
    Made for towing or OR?
    Reliability?
    etc.....

    My question is, Since the thread is bumped anyways. What setup gives you a true 3" of lift :) I want my truck to be level and at least 3" all around. Billys?

    Same here! I am ready to pull the trigger on this one. I have been emailing Jeff of Toyteclifts.com. I would just like to be sure that I am getting the best for what I intend to spend. Which is why while one's choice is totally subjective, any objective data would certainly be appreciated.

    What kind of lift did you get out of it? Specifically the rear? Is it level?

    I think I'm going with the Toytec UL, but with the Dakar full leaf set.....

    No , factory rake

    2 1/2" front , 2 3/4" rear

    I don't get the obsession with " level "
