Pro comp stage 1 vs stage 2?

Ok, so I am set on getting a 6 inch lift for my truck. I am pretty set on pro comp. I know that the stage 2 is better than the stage 1, but is it really worth the extra $1000 if i'm not a hard core off roader? I mean I could use that for other stuff, All Pro front bumper or some skids. Any input I get would be greatly appreciated. The truck is an 07 TRD SPORT DC 4x4

 

Bump, anyone???

 

if u dont do any crazy offroading. u dont need the stage 2.

 

I hear the ride is better with the stage 2, and i think its for shear badassness. I'm planning on getting the stage 1 now and upgrading to the stage 2 later when the funds are more abundant. For your situation though, I think the stage 1 is just fine.

 

Thats what I was thinking about doing, was getting the stage one, then just upgrading it. Do you know how much the kit costs to upgrade?

 

Pretty sure the only difference is that they give you "nicer" coilovers with the stage II kit.

 

Ya, I know the only difference is that the stage I comes with a spacer and the stage II comes with coil overs. I mean, are they really worth the extra $1000?

 

hard to say really, probably wont make much difference

 

K then, I think i'll get the stage I and then if it is a horrible ride i'll get the conversion kit.

 

The conversion kits like 800 - 1000 more i believe, I may be wrong. its badass coilovers in the front, and adjustable shocks in the rear...i think it would be a better ride for sure, but nothing you couldn't handle with the stage 1. It'll probably be a lil stiff at first and then smooth itself out a bit.

 

Can someone give me a good ballpark estimate on what I'm looking at paying for a Stage 1 and then also the cost for a Stage 2 (installed)?

Thanks

 

Well, you can get the kits offline for I think stage 1 1800ish and stage 2 2300ish. I could be wrong, its been a while. I found the stage 2 at a local wholesaler for 2199. as far as install, the shops I went to quoted me 1000 or more.

 

the stage one rides great for the street feels almost stock the after market coilovers will make the truck alittle stiffer i went with radflo they should be coming in this next week i ordered them with a 650 pound coil too

 

what happened to thinking of going LT????

 

I thought you were keeping that a secret until they came out????? I just found their kits through the FJ forum. Seem to be liked.

 

yepp they are on there way well not yet they are getting shipped out firday so ill be seeing them next week and maybe put them on if i can find a jack stand that holds my truck up

 

Haha, I had to go buy new ones because the 6 we had were to short. Good luck man, cant wait to see the results.

 

ha yea i know when you mean i ended up stacking some flag stone under my X member the other day and using them .....
