Versatile Lift and armor options

1) I am looking for a versatile lift for about 3 inches of lift. I normal only go off-road 2-3 times per year. I want to be able to use my stock 265 R16s most of the year and then throw on some 33s or so for off-road. I was looking at putting on a Toytec ultimate lift kit. Does anyone switch back and forth like this without much difficulty? Do you agree with the Toytec or suggest another lift? Also, the racing control arms are an additional $400. Do they make much difference and are they worth adding?

2) I have already added a flat belly from Bud-built and sliders from Avid. I was planning on adding ARB re-enforced brake lines, a weld-on rear differential cover and a Bud-built gas tank cover. Any other armor options you would suggest other than changing the bumpers?
