    I am about to purchase a new 2015 Tacoma DCLB. I was hopeful that I could gain some opinions/suggestions on choosing between the following 3" suspension kits:

    1) Toytec BOSS suspension system, or
    2) ARB Old Man EMU complete suspension kit.

    They are somewhat comparable, although it's my understanding that the ARB system includes a complete real spring replacement. I was also wondering at what point should one consider the addition of upper control arms?

    Bilstein 5100’s (x4), 275/65/20 Cooper XLT AT3’s
    OME all the way and only UCA'S if you want the full 3", if you stay at 2.5" you don't need them.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    There is a 3rd option if you are looking for adjustable coilovers. IRONMAN4X4 is going to be releasing a new adjustable coilover up to 2.5". They also have a 2" rear spring lift. The fronts will retail for 789 total, and the rears with new bushings included for 400 total.

    The new Bilstein coil overs are going to be hitting in March too. I've got 5100's on back order right now and had thought of going with the 6112's until I heard the price.... Would have cost me almost 3 times as much.

    Why do you prefer the OME? And do you use UCAs with your UCA?
