best bang for your buck complete 3" lift

[thebus]

maybe you can have toytec custom do them black worth a shot.. or get them powder coated make sure it allows for some flex so it doesn't crack on you I wish i had mine done in Yellow

for a few dollars more you can get the Toytec Ultimate 3" lift...
and as the bus and others have said, being adjustable is a great benefit.
with OME your stuck with what you bought. The ride quality of the Toytecs are fantastic!!!

So... what is the real difference between these two:

FJ Cruiser/4Runner Ultimate 3" lift package - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits

3" Lift W/ Bilstein 5100 Height Adj Coilovers FJ/4Runner - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits


I guess the $889 one is the one you were originally talking about?

It appears that the first one has a diff drop

Realized the one is not adjustable

From the research I have done... I am also on lifting my FJC... And this is what I have narrowed it down to

Upper control arms
Extended travel coil overs upfront
Weld-on spindle gussets
Rear lift springs, about 1.5"
With matching rear shocks...

I'm looking a getting it all camburg (uca's, rear lift springs, with fox shocks)
The gussets I'm looking at total chaos or all pro

Just be aware the Gussets will make the clearance between the stock wheels and the spindles almost touch. this will cause issues with wider tires. Spacers help but increase the arc of the turn which puts you into the pinch welds at the back of the fender unless you add caster

Heres some pics to show you

255/80R17 (pizza cutters- thin tires) stock wheels


315/75R16 (basically a 34.8 x 12" tire)- not even made up since the tire was already contacting the spindle -4.5" Back spacing)


I would suggest a BS of 4.25" or similar
