GOT LIFT? Please update us (those with no lift)

[DEKA3]

I know the "What kind of lift is better" threads have been talked about enough on here. Sure you can do a search and get about 2000 threads (some couple of years old) and read them all, or we can just read one updated thread with the benefits OF ALL TYPES of lifts. Plus, most threads regarding lifts are older and were written when there weren't that many options yet for the 5th gen.

I was thinking for the owners with lifts, if they can update us on their rigs and their lifts.

What kind of lift did you get, and how do you like it? Or hate it?
Knowing now what you know, would you have done something differently? Would you have gone with another type of lift, or are you happy enough to recommend your lift to a friend?

No regrets, I've got near 20k miles on my setup. Running icon stage 1 with ext travel remote res front coil overs and Camburg Uni-ball UCAs. Only thing I would change is maybe ponying up for the remote res rear shocks, but I have zero complaints with the base shocks.

I've got a Toytec Ultimate and I love it! Got about 25k miles on mine, running stock UCA's, might go with some Icon uca's in the future.

I installed the OW 2.5" kit with Camburg UCA@ 5k miles. I have 45k on it now. Lots of off-roading with and without towing (ca 3500#). I have beat up on this truck pretty good for the last 2 years and it's holding really well. This suspension has been great! Andries spent a couple hr with me going through radflo shocks and tuning the kit for towing off-road.

I am very pleased with truck overall, it's the first toyota I have owned, and I really like it.

More praise for Overland Warehouse here. My set-up consists of OW 2.5" front coilovers, OW rear 2.5" shocks with SAW 1.5" lift rear coils and LR UCAs.

No more on-pavement mush, squirm, wander or nosedive and superb offroad compliance. Does an amazing job keeping wheels in contact with Mother Earth both going slow over obstacles and going fast on washboard gravel roads. Bear in mind that some of this is also due to the right tires at the right pressures for the terrain/speed. Still, I couldn't be happier with this suspension set-up.

I like this thread. Anyone else care to add to it for those wanting more user info?

I have Billstein 5100's in all 4 corners with 1.5" eibach rear coils, love it except I did get just a little bit of a (reverse) rear rake with these coils, I would recommend a medium 2" coil if I could do it again. I like this thread and hope my expirience helps someone else.

More praise for Overland Warehouse. Have the 2.5 kit and Light Racing UCAs. Love it and would recommend it to others. Ride is still great after 20K plus miles of on road, off road, in the snow play...

Front bils at 2.5"?

Any other members want to give us their lift feedback?

did you get the adjustable 5100s? if so cant you just lower them a bit to even out the rake?

Another OW kit here. My only regret is not getting the 2.5 kit instead of the 2.0 because I'm probably going to be adding significant weight to it in the form of full skids and bumpers. Extremely well-mannered kit both on and off road for the last 7 months. I'd recommend both OW's products and customer service to anyone.

So far so good on my Overland Warehouse 2.0 setup. Still fairly new with about 1k miles on it. The ride is so much more stable in every way.
