Got My BF K2 Tires - Now the lift

Im interesting in buying a lift from ToyTec I notice they have several options for a 3" lift. I just need the lift the fit my tires 285/70/16 which I understand is the biggest size I can fit for a 3" lift (hope im not wrong). I don't need something fancy, just a lift. Which one do you guys recommend.

Thanks.

i recommend the ome coil lift with aal from toytec. its $299.99 i believe. a very good quality lift

 

thanks.... is that what you currently have... cool truck by the way!

 

thanks! no i do not have this lift, i have a top plate spacer/block lift. i highly recommend you never ever get this lift on your truck. however, ome lifts are great. ive heard and seen nothing but good things about them. if you really want to do it right, get the ultimate lift kit with the ome shocks to go with the lift. it's $699 but definitely one of the best 3" lifts out there

 

is this the one you are talking about meteorman?

 

yes that is the lift i am talking about. definitely the way i would go for a starter lift. if you do not want the shocks now, save up and get them later. you will no doubt notice a much better and smoother ride

 

thanks a lot man... i can't wait for saturday. one more questions... what kit do you recommend would be the best to go after this one? for 3" inches.

 

personally, i feel that the complete ome lift kit ($699 @ toytec) is the best 3" lift kit. some will say coilovers are better than ome coils. the only true difference is that coilovers are adjustable and the ome coils are not. icon makes some pretty good coilovers but for just a daily driver with light offroading the complete ome kit is just about the best.

many get the toytec ultimate lift kit. main difference is that it comes with coilovers.

 

I can attest for the OME kit. I ran it for a while. Next better lift is a nice pair of coilovers with ucas and thats pricey.

 

x2 with the uca's...totally forgot about that. if you lift it 3" you may want to look into some aftermarket uca's eventually. it will help align your truck back to factory specs thus making it handle better especially on the interstate

 

where can i find the uca's? are they available at toytec?

 

Check out Icon Vehicle Dynamics. I am Sold on their Coilover suspension setup. it is flippin expensive. I am not an expert by any means,in fact my truck is completely stock as of yet, but from what i've heard it is the top of the line. Not a "lift" but a suspension Upgrade that adds up to 3" of lift. I just cant afford it. yet. thats beans n' rice for years!!

yes toytec has a couple sets. light racing is one of them which is what i have. they also make total chaos, camburg, and i cant think of the others right now

 

oh yeah..... thats a little bit out of league... thanks... ill add it to my wish list..

 

If you dont offroad a lot the light racing ucas are great. You can even get a uca that uses your ball joints and its cheaper. But if you have the cash get tc ucas. Those are what most people have and love them including me.

 

mmm.... they are pricey as the lift itself.... can i apply the lift first and then look in to some UCA's ?

 

where can i get the tc ucas? are they available at toytec?

 

No doubt. on the wish list...
I'm going to try and start with just the front Coilovers, UCA's and rear add a leaf's. maybe half the price...
I"ve been reading the stickied post Lifting you truck! Things you need to know.that also has a great breakdown...

 

Do you know what load range those KM2's are ? I am looking at buying a set and all I can find are "E" load range. I hear that the ride will suffer with a higher load range. I have Icons and TC UCA's just need the wheels and tires

 

Why do you recommend the OME coil instead of the spacer?????? I guess what i mean is why would i want to replace a coil with the another coil in the kit, what's the difference?
