pro comp lift question

so im lookin at getting the pro comp 3 inch lift...on their website it says tht it comes with add a leaf rear lift, but it says on all pros website tht the add a leaf only lifts 1.5inches. so will pro comps add a leaf will only raise the rear 1.5? sorry im a lil of a lift newb. lol thanks in advance

 

One dont get pro comp and two look at like allprooffroad.com for 3 inch leaf pack. Look at Old man emu or Toytec, from toytec.com

 

I have that lift kit and the truck sits perfectly level.

 

im not questioning your judgement im just open to all opinions but y do you say dont go with pro comp?

how do you like your lift kit so far?

 

Because 4wp own's pro comp both companies are crap. But if you are dead set on it you will learn.

 

I have had on my truck for 2 years. I paid around 250 bucks and for the price, its a great value. I don't go offroad much (besides logging roads ect.) so I can't tell you much about the offroad worthyness of it, but on the street it performs well, and is a bit stiffer than stock. I will also add that after having the lift for 2 years, and living on the coast, the salt has created some surface rust, but nothing to affect function.

There is better lifts out there, thats a no brainer, but this is a good lift for the price.

 

This guy is just a miserable individual....don't listen to him.

 

well define crap....like i wont be going serious offroading, maybe a little.

gotcha man sounds good.

 

well whats our opinion on this topic?

 

all pro standard 3 inch leaf springs with any front 3 inch lift. looks better and so much easier to install..

 

Sorry i am just telling the truth.

 

very much agree. ^

 

I was looking at the same Pro Comp 3" but after hearing a few talk about the extra stiff coils and harsh ride, I went with the Pro Comp 6" instead. Surprisingly though, some guys have said the 3" is fine. I can say that the 6" is a little stiff but to me it's a truck & shouldn't ride like a Cadillac anyway.

Just messing with ya bud....u told me the same thing with the 6" kit & I like mine. Granted it could use some shock/coil & leaf upgrades but overall I'm happy.

 

^ i know

 

5100 around front set at 2.5 and then for the rear 5100 with the icon 3leaf progressive addALeaf give you about 2 in lift this would be a good set up for daily driving and offroad. I had the 3 in prom comp lift and its shit rides stiff and the shocks blow dick

 

^ hrump!!!

 

Check out toyteclifts.com for better lifts cause you get what you pay for and suspension isnt something you want to go the cheap route with. My buddy had the 3" pro comp lift and his rear shocks started rusting pretty quick he said. He went with 5100's all around a few years later and said it was a night and day difference.

 

so what do u guys think of this kit?

 

nah the 3" is enough for me.

 

Believe me.. Pass on the pro comp. Spend the extra money and go with something else. I highly recommned OME. Also.. The procomp aal is a single 1.5" aal.

I just recently swapped out my pro comp kit for OME shocks all around, 885's, and an icon 3 leaf pack. The ride and performance is like night and day. My pro comp coils were starting to sag, resulting in less than 3" of lift up front. The rear was stiff as hell due to the single aal. My shocks lower eyelet bushings were toast.... That pro comp kit is just bad. I couldn't be happier with my current set up.
