    New 2006 Taco (red) 8112 Front Bilstein Shocks Maxtrac Spindles Fox2.0 With Resis Rear All Pro Expo Leafpack RRW 18 Wheels w/ Toyo RT 33x12.50r18 LED Headlights Pioneer AVH 4201NEX Hybrid Audio Unity and Mirus ARC Audio 300.4 RIP 2006 Taco (silver)... you will be missed Eibach Coils Bilstein 5100s front Maxtrac Spindles SpiderTrax Wheel Spacers Bilstein 5100s rear*extended All Pro Expo Leafpack 6,000k HID's (Headlights and Fogs)
    So basically i am debating on which one of these lifts would be better
    for me.

    its either this OME lift: $700 + labor costs??

    or w/ bilstein 5100's all around.
    $600 + labor costs??

    What is the ride quality, difficulty of installation etc

    what would you recommend me to purchase, i do light off roading

    OME hands down. Install yourself- plenty of info and write-ups on here to help you do it if you have any mechanical skill.

    IMO get the Toytec Ultimate Lift Kit. Not worth saving a couple bucks when it comes to your suspension and install is easy.

    Either way I think you will be happy and Toytec is a great company with excellent customer service.

    also, since you're a prerunner, you might look into some 4" lift spindles. They're a bit spendy but keeps your factory suspension geometry, then later on you can add up to another 3" in the front (up to 7" total front lift!) with coilovers, the 5100s, or the OME's etc. just a thought.
