    Ok guys im new to TW world so bare with me. Im starting to build up my 13 Trd sport prerunner. Im looking into 3 inch lifts and cant decide what to get. Im narrowed it down to Toytec ultimate and bilstein 5100. I dont do much off roading and what not but I want to upgrade my suspenion and give my truck a nice look. I dont mind spending my money on good parts now and keeping my ride the way it is. I want my truck to sit as level as possible to fit 275/70/17 bfg all terrian tires without cutting or rubbing. What lift is best for me? When I get either one of these lifts will I have to get aftermarket UCAs? I dont rrally know the diffrence between these lifts, My truck is my daily driver and want the ride to remain the way it is now. Any pictures or advice will be very helpful guys thanks.

    I have the Bilstein Adjustable lift kit.. I like it, I didnt need longer brake lines and the rear lift is just an extra leaf spring and not blocks/spacers. Although I have my front shocks set one notch down 1.75

    Potentially not being able to get a proper alignment. You could usually get away without them under 3" of lift. Once you're at 3" often times you'd need them. Many have gotten away with not having them. I just chose to have it all installed at once rather then having the lift installed and finding out I couldn't get it aligned within spec and then needing to go buy UCA's and installing them and getting another alignment.

    Thats what I thought. Mine is only 2 in. I decided not to install them unless there was a problem. So far so good :)
