    Im about ready to pull the trigger on a lift, wheels and tires. Ive decided on Worx Beast wheels, 16 inch with Nitto Trail Grappler 285 70 16 tires. Here are the two lifts Im debating. Im not into hard wheeling, mainly just for a more aggressive look. Give me some opinions.

    The first one doesn't have a lift for the rear... Were you planning on lifting the rear?

    Pretty much stock with some crap welded to it.
    i may be wrong but i think the second one with coils would require new struts aswell..

    Gun to my head, had to pick...

    Option 1 with AAL in the back.

    You can reuse the stock coils. The second option you need new shocks.

    In summary, save for a better option..

    I might just do this lift. If Im spending this much on lift, wheels and tires, what's another $300.

    I cant skip the wheels. That was the whole reason I bought a sport. I planned to add black wheels and not have anything shinny on the truck.

    Pkg 1 gives no lift in the rear, and can cause coil slap (rough ride) with factory springs preloaded to 2.5".

    Pkg 2 with factory rear shocks will limit downtravel with the add-a-leaf.

    Effectively you need to add the two lift pkgs together:
    Front: run the Eibach springs with the Bilstein 5100s set to 0"
    Rear: run the add-a-leaf with the Bilstein 5100 rear shocks

    If I added the two lifts together it would pretty much be this lift that dakotasyota reccommended but $100 cheaper. Someone correct me if Im wrong.

    FYI standard length 5100's and stock TRD shocks are nearly identical in length collapsed, travel and extended. That stated the 5100's will be valved better with the AAL.

    First pic shows $369; second pic shows $309, so $669 total. dakotasyota's link shows $649, so you save $20 if you buy them together as a single kit. Not sure where you get the $100 cheaper.
