    Hey guys I have a couple quick questions regarding toyotec lifts and if anyone has tried these two lifts in question:

    First -

    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/BEST-SELLER-3-Lift-With-front-coils-rear-options_p_233.html

    Going with the 885 vs 884 coils. I was thinking 885 might be the right choice because I want my ride hight to be as level as possible but would 884 be a bad choice? I assumed 885 if your running a double cab.

    I know this lift uses stock suspension (I own a 2014 dc trd off road) but will this lift still give decent ride quality? Also, are the spacers completely necessary up front to reach a level ride?

    Second -

    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/OME-Tacoma-Suspension-lift-kit_p_231.html

    Again 884 vs 885 coils? Also, on the OME site their lift shows 50MM lift in the front with 55MM in the rear. I am not a fan of the "raked" look, I want the truck to be level. It seems like toyotec solves this with their 2" AAL option in the back, is that right?

    I imagine most people will say its worth it to upgrade to the OME shocks vs the toyotec coils, but I would like to see if anyone has experience with either lift. One of my biggest concerns is the "raked" look as well..

    i love the raked look. level just looks weird to me.
    also, i would go with the OME kit. still going to ride like a truck but it's smooth. when i air down and hit the FSRs in these hills, it's like i'm back in my family's towncar. floats on the road/sand and rocks are fine.

    i have the 884s on a dcsb v6. sits at 2" now with a lightweight custom bumper and heavy winch. others have different measurements, so taking all those into consideration you'll probably find it's +/- 1/4" or so between all of us. it also depends on what you get in the rear. i got the dakar pack with ome kit. it's going to go up quite a bit.

    this thread by OZ-T shows average fender to hub measurements with various leaf setups. take a look at the measurements for the front and rear and get the kit that works for you:

    here are some threads that may help you with the decision.
