personal experiences with lift kits?

[proudrunner]

Hello fellow runners, well after alot of reading and contemplating on a lift kit, i am ready. Would you guys be kind enough and post your personal experiences with your lift kits. I have about 3 to 4 vendors that im looking into. I would like to have about 2 to 3 inch lift, my truck is a 2002 limited 4wd. This is my daily driver. I would probably end up buying a custom bumper sometime in the future. Hopefully with some more insight in real life situations my decision would be that much easier.

My trucks a daily driver so I didn't want too much lift but I wanted it a little higher. I went with OME 890's in the rear and the tundra coils upfront. My shocks are tokico trekmasters all around and it rides fine. 881's or 882's would have been my next choice for the fronts. I love the stiffed ride from the lift springs and the improved ground clearance. I recently pulled the trigger and got some custom bumpers front and rear and there's no sag or drop. I'm glad I lifted my truck, I have no regrets and would definitely do it again.

i'd decide what your budget is first then go from there. there are many options as I'm sure you've seen, several ways to lift that will look the same but the ride quality will differ. toytec has a good selection in many price ranges.

I'm sitting at 3 inches of lift now in my daily driver and like it a lot, nothing crazy but looks nice and it helps out when wheeling.

getting 3 inches for your lowrider 2002 my seem like a big change though.
