    Toytec 3 Inch lift kit with Bilstein 5100's, and more
    I voted for #2. However I keep hearing so many good things about the OME's I cant decide. I want it 3 inches up. I do zero off roading so far. I will probably take the Taco down to the outer banks some time this summer and get on the beach other than that it is more for looks and my own personal choice to have it higher.

    I went with a Procomp lift which was faily inexpensive. #K5075B which I did 2 weekends ago. I'm happy so far with the kit. Here's the thread that shows the lift ...

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/210343-easy-3-lift-all-you-diyrs.html

    I haven't had a chance to get it off the highway, but so far it feels like a solid kit and at $486, it seemed like good decision (no spacers or blocks). I'll be updating the thread above next weekend when I get off the road for a little abuse :)

    I ordered the ulk just in time from toytec. I got mine in with the billies last week, but it seems a lot of bilstein parts are backordered right now. I ordered a set for my Yukon as well and they were backordered till may through a couple places. Summit had the few that were left in stock so I lucked out there.
