    I am about ready to buy a 3 inch lift. I was originally going to go for the OME lift kit, but now i see toyteclifts.com have a bilstein lift kit as well. I was wondering which one you think would be a better buy. I have a 05 trd sport access cab. I see that they both come with a front diff drop but i remember reading that it isnt necessary. Any help would be appreciated.

    They're both good options, really. I had the Bilstein setup myself.

    FWIW these 2 kits are probably the 2 most popular setups here and both have been extensively discussed and compared. Tons of info.
