Hey ya'll! So after some hep from ya'll (Thank you) I've decided to upgrade both my UPC's and my front lift (currently have spacers in the front). Has anyone had any experience with the Toytec/Eibach Complete Front Coilovers - 3" Lift ? I haven't been able to find anything on this forum, and 1 positive and 1 negative review elsewhere.
Also, looking to get the All Pro UPC's. Anyone have experience with this company? I've heard it's next best thing to Total Chaos..but thats coming from my dealer who I can't decide if he knows what he's talking about. Ha.
Any insight at all would be very much appreciated!
Get the SPC UCAs
And the toytech kit is nice
I have it
I also have the all pro UCAs but like the total chaos ones they are just a regular uniball upper control arm
Nothing special
SPC actually can correct your camber when you lift the truck so that your alignment cams aren't maxed out.

Thanks =). Good to hear about the that toytech lift.
I feel like i've heard mixed things about the SPC?

and I made might help you out:
Thanks for making it! I actually have watched this about 12 times to study how to replace a ball joint. Now i'll be watching it to install those springs!
I don't have any experience with the spc or all pro upper arms. However, having used camburg and total chaos upper arms, I have nothing but good things to say about those two options. Just be aware, going with a uniball upper control arm is going to require you press in the uniball adapter to the spindle which can be a pain.
Not sure what UPC stands for but I'm assuming you are referring to Upper Control Arms. I went with SPC UCA's for the ability to adjust them, more misalignment than Uniballs, Sealed Ball Joint, and Greasable.
As for Toytec coilovers, I just saw a post on FB of someone that broke theirs. Not sure how much more performance they offer over 5100's but I wouldn't spend that much money on coilovers unless I was going King, Fox, etc. Just my opinion though.

There not spanner wrench adjustable coilovers. There just Eibach Pro shocks with Eibach springs. I'd stick with the Billies if it was me. That's the lift I have and the front is butter smooth on the second perch with my bumper/winch.

Camburg included in the regular old uniball upper control arms nothing special
I've installed all 4 and like I said I own the all pros.
But the SPC are the only ones that give you more alignment adjustment.
The differences in the toytec coilovers and regular billies are that they are coilovers and have more adjustability to get the perfect stance you want not just three perches.
Also the strut mounts are different and give you more down travel rather than just a strut plate.

I'm pretty sure these are the coilovers the OP was referring to. They are not spanner style. C-clips just like the Billies, unless I'm missing something here:

Lol. No worries man. Most people around here think of "coilovers" to be threaded body style. In reality the stock front suspension is a coilover. So you have non-adjustable, c-clip adjustment and threaded body. Coilover literally means a coil over a shock/strut.

I may be in the minority here, but I much prefer preloaded stock 99 highlander springs with Bilstiens rather than the Toytec coils. The Toytec coils seem way stiffer than they need to be. Preloaded stock springs in my opinion give a much better ride while still being controlled. With the Toytec/Eibach coils at 3" of lift I never touched the bump stops even over jumps. And I have a lot of weight up front, so I can't imagine them with stock weight.

Good to know. The whole reason why I want new UCA's is to at least correct the extra stress its putting on my upper ball joints. The spindle and stock UCA's meet at a pretty weird angle now due to my current spacers.
I guess I also assumed it corrected for alignment. Thats not the case? Is it gonna get any better?

At risk of sounding like a newb (i am) what do you mean you never touched the bump stops? You didn't have a lot of travel, flex or play when hitting bumps?
