    Hey everyone, currently i have a 2in ready-lift block lift and i was looking around the forum and found that a block lift really isn't to great to have. So my question is, is it worth upgrading to a toytec 3in suspension lift? I only go out wheeling once in a while, but i don't wanna risk anything since i have a block lift. The lift i would get would include:

    Bilstein 5100 shocks all around
    Diff Drop Kit
    Top Plate Spacer
    2in AAL

    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Bilstein-Adjustable-lift-kit-with-5100-shocks_p_132.html

    For a overall lift of 3in.

    I was also looking around and saw that people really liked OME with 885coils.

    So i guess my two questions are...
    1.) is it worth upgrading to a 3in suspension lift from a 2in block lift?
    2.) would ether the OME or Bilstein 5100 lift be fine?

    Thanks for the help!:D

    I went with the Toy Tech 5100 lift w/Eibach springs and I'm loving it. For the full 3 in. lift you will need to add the 1/2 spacers for the double cab. I went with the 2in. AAL in the rear. It sits about a 1/2 higher in the rear. I also installed SPC Upper control arms and 265/75/16 tires. The only problem I ran into was the lower control arm bolts being seized and not being able to align it exactly to spec. It's at the dealer now having new lower control arm bushings and bolts installed and being re aligned.

    Cool yeah the link helped a lot thanks!

    Sweet truck bw4706

    I think I'm more leaning towards the 5100, seems pretty durable
