Toytec vs OME lift kit for 2013 Tacoma

Hey guys,
Ive been reading through the info on the site, but Im still a little unclear what the main difference between the toytec and OME lift kits are...trying to decide if its worth spending the extra money for the Toytec. I want to fit the tallest tire possible, which I'm guessing is 285-70-17? I also kind of want to go with skinny tall tires, like a 265...is this a good idea? I was told they would perform better in snow.

I have a 2013 4 door TRD package, with a topper. I plan on installing the ARB front bumper, so I know id need the heavy duty OME kit to compensate for the weight. I was planning on the Dakar shocks, as I usually keep 200lbs of sandbags in the back in the winter months.

Another question I have...what is the best tire for snowy roads? I live in breckenridge and there is a lot of snow throughout the winter, so snow performance is a big issue for me. I was thinking about the Yokohama tire, but if there is a better one, please let me know!! Thanks guys, I really appreciate you helping out someone who knows nothing about this stuff.

 

Idk about the exhaust but when I lived in Colorado I had bfg at on my truck and they worked awesome. Handled very well in a foot of snow. Never any issues in snow with them
