Another 3rd gen lift option thread.

I've read these threads on this and I'm sick of it. I can not make my mind up. I have a 2002 SR5 4runner. Bone stock. I want to lift it and can't decide between the Tundra TRD coil's up front with 5100's or the Toytec ultimate lift. Looks like on the second or third notch I cold get the same lift as the Toytec out of the tundra coils and put 891's in the rear and be pretty level. Price difference between the two is $300 to $400. What's my best option? I like these BFG's Tire Details - Discount Tire Direct
I know that they work out to a 32 inch tire and I could prob go one size bigger but I really like that tire and tread pattern. I'm not sure why BFG only makes it in that size. Like I said I have read the sticky thread on lifts for third gen's and many many others but still can't decide. Anyone out there have any input?

The Toyec Ultimate coilovers are still a Bilstein 5100 Shock, so the main difference is the springs, I have the Tundra Coils on Tundra 5100's setup on the 3rd notch and IMO the ride is great, rode good with no weight in the front and I had minimal sag adding a winch bumper. Either way is a good way to go, just depends how much adjust-ability you need.

The KM1 Mud Terrains are only available in that size now because they've been discountinued quite some time ago, they still make them in 255/75 17 because they came on the Jeep Rubicons stock in that size just before the tires were discontinued, so they are either still in production or they have lots of stock sitting around from that.

Thanks.
 
I'm sure you've probably heard this but it depends what you're lifting for. The Toytec Ultimate is tried and true for more wheeling-focused rigs, Tundra TRDs for the daily driver/occasional weekend wheeler (I could be wrong, of course). $400 is a pretty significant difference to me and in my needs, the Tundra TRD setup is where I'd go if I had to do it over again, simply for it's cost effectiveness and all around utility in anything you throw at it.
 
Tundra stud setup with 5100 all the way around everything roughly $900 shipped.
Toytec ultimate with the boss shocks in the rear $1150 shipped.
I still don't know what to go with.
