Learn from my mistakes: Go for a 3/2 lift

[THEROK]

I certainly can't speak to off-roading performance as I am a self-admitted "urban bruiser" owner (primarily downtown, freeway driving), but from an aesthetic perspective, imho, the 3/2 lift is the best look when you go with big tire packages.

Don't do the 2.5. It's just as affordable to go for the 3/2.

I started off with the stock front spring on Bilstein 5100 setup only to end up happy with what is essentially the toytec ultimate lift adjustable coilover. my rears are OME 895s 2" (there's a 1.5" spring too).

ride has less dive and lean. it's all good! now i'm going to add the factory sport hood and i'm done. mine's a 4x4 limited v8.

This was my stock spring vs. a Toytec coilover, There was a noticable difference between stock toyota and Toytec springs....

Your ride looks very nice, and I know exactly what you mean about the "dive and lean"....my lifted SR5 has a much nicer ride than my 05 Limited ! Lifted 4th gens look soooo nice IMO!

great pic to illustrate the differences... i opted for the silver eibachs which they charge $40 more!

The silver looks good on a black runner, I liked the red to contrast the silver truck for mine.

Again, very nice! I know you are loving the setup :thumb3: I love my Toytec bigtime!

ordered the sport hood direct from toyota.

-painted scoop part came with scratches

-actual hood itself looked like someone touched it up due to damage

totally weak sauce on toyota's part. they're shipping out a new hood bulge kit and hood again. but this delays me having my truck which is the worst part. i have to drive around in my small arse impractical, attn gettin sports car everywhere. not fun.

Sorry I am a noob. I might be picking up my first 04 V8 Limited in a little bit. When you refer to 3/2 you are referring to 3in (front) and 2in (rear) correct ??
