RS9000 vs Bislstein 5150's?

The Cheby Titanic (Vortec Max Silverado) sold Monday! The check cleared yesterday, Spoke to Ben @ toytec and I need Opinions STAT!

Here's what my research told me that I feel Matters, Please correct me if I am mistaken:

The Toytec uses a progressive rate Eibach Manufactured spring up front which allows for a more consistent and well rounded ride. Scratch Old Man Emu off the list here.

The toytec adjustable coil-overs can be adjusted from 0-3" of Lift! GoodBye All other manufacturers. (Which makes me wonder why anyone would ever buy anything else unless you wanted to fit a larger than 33 tire and didn't want to go the body-lift route.) I could be and probably am wrong, but Im 2 months into my runner and 100% NEWB.

My Main Dilemma. My research says the Bilstien 5150 reservoir shocks are better for lifted trucks than the Pro Comp 9000 Series. I drive onroad A LOT, I am a weekend Warrior Every 3rd weekend. I know its bad form but I still want this thing to handle a little bit and be comfy for road trips. What say YOU? Bilstein or Procomp?

bilstein will always trump pro comp, pro comp shocks always seem to feel stiff and i dont think they are exactly valved to for a 4runner, feel like they should be on a 3/4 ton truck
 
I have a 4th gen, but can tell you that the Toytec lift I installed into it 2 weeks ago rides AWESOME. I did about 300 miles city driving and an 800 mile road trip to work a couple of days ago.....rides like a dream both ON and OFF road.

My setup is the Toytec Ultimate, but I have the Icon rear shocks w/ mine.....You will be happy!
 
The Procomps are not bad but they really are our "budget" shock. The Bilsteins are definitely a better shock for both ride and performance.

:thumb3:
 
I installed the Toytec ultimate kit a couple weeks ago with Procomps rear and Bilsteins front. I love the ride. Roads here suck and this suspension gives an easy smooth confident ride
 
Bilsteins All the way Around. Cant wait to make a build Thread.

Jon Dont hate me but I think were going to have twins minus the tires.

I ride this thing over to orange park a bunch and you look like you work near jax.
