    I was just wondering, whats the difference between the: 3" LIFT KIT WITH BILSTEIN 5100 HEIGHT ADJ. COILOVERS, Part Number TTHA-CK-AL versus the: TOYTEC ULTIMATE LIFT KIT '05+ TACOMA, Part Number ULTAC-2005??

    My plans are to lift my tacoma 3" and I know that it's better if you do change the UCA's to not have any problems with proper alignment and all that.. So far all I can tell from these two options is that the ultimate lift kit has the red spring color and its for $1,179.99 with the 1.5" TSB add a leaf , and diff drop kit, with the 5100 Billies.. the 3" coilover lift kit has the exact same stuff except silver springs for $919.99 Am I missing something here???

    The Toytec adjustable coilovers have an adjustable collar so you can set them at any height you like (0-3") while they are still on the truck.

    The bilstein 5100's have 4 distinct settings, 0",0.85", 1.75", 2.5", and they need to be removed from the truck and taken apart to adjust.

    The Toytec coilovers actually use the Bilstein 5100's as the shock, so the extra $$ you are talking about is solely for the convenience of adjustability.
