    I have searched but I hate our search function here. Is there a 3" lift pic thread somewhere? if not, could you please show me your 3" lift and list wheel and tire specs? Thanks in advance.

    The reason you are having difficulty is due to the sheer number of different 3" lifts that are available for our trucks.

    Perhaps if you stated what your intended usage of your truck is you'd get more useful information.

    Let us know, we've got a bunch of folks that would be happy to help you spend your mod money! :thumbsup:

    I mainly keep my truck on the road. The only things I haul are the family, groceries and hockey bags. I have the Billy 5100's on all four corners now,fronts set at 1.75". I love my truck and heard to stay away from spacers. I'd like to put some quality parts in for a solid build. I figured I can build up on the Billy's to get it up to 3". So like everyone I'm searching for best options. I can budget for about $2000. Spoke to Toytec who gave me a couple options and I like the idea of of the ultimate lift, however I don't know how the aluminum collar would hold up to the salt any brine that is put on the roads up here in the winter, as far as the aluminum corroding and affecting future adjustments. I've also read that the ultimate isn't as easy to adjust anyway (wrenches bending and collar not maxing out to 3"). Then there are the questions about the UCA's and diff drop do I need them or not? Toytec recommends them but they are also in the business of making money .
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Craig is right. What do you need the lift for? Function or form?

    They are called Bilstein 5100's not Billy 5100's. Sounds like something a redneck would say.
