ToyTec Ultimate Lift?

I am thinking of going with the Toytec Ultimate Lift Kit for my 2012 T4R. And am wondering if someone out there has gone with the same kit. If so, is it really worth installing. Is there a noticeable difference in the ride? If not Toytec, then what else should I consider? I am looking for a more firm and responsive ride. In other words, not so mushy.

Love my Toytec Ultimate Lift. Pretty easy to install. Very easy to adjust height. At 2 1/2" lift, quite a bit firmer than stock but I really like it more than the squishy stock ride and no nose dive when stopping. My alignment shop owner who has experience with just about every lift out there for Toyotas really likes them but also said if you want a good quality setup with a little closer to stock firmness, check out the Old Man Emu (OME). If you are going to do serious rock crawling or high speed, long distance trailing, might want to look at the Icons or others with resevoir shocks and aftermarket upper control arms. For daily driving and offroading on weekends, the Toytecs are a really good value.

Thank you. Did you add the upper control arms? Toytec wants an additional $399. I drive the road about 90% of the time.

No. Stock UCA. Alignment came out pretty close to recommended. No issues on street or trail. No vibrations. Tires wearing evenly.

I have the Ultimate TT lift as well. My experience matches Hawaiian's. I'd add that I went with the heavier front coil over option, cuz I added full skid plates. Also, definitely install the diff drop, if you go with the Ultimate.
