What's the Difference between these Coilovers?

I'm getting closer and closer to deciding what components to go with for a lift. I'm looking to put a lift between 2" and 3" on the 4Runner that will give me the most comfortable ride (so my butt doesn't feel every defect in the road) for the money. I've read just about every thread on lifts, but still not sure exactly what to look at. I also need to take a ride with a few of you locals here in the Denver-metro to get a feel for some of the lifts. However, onto the question:

The two coilovers I'm looking at is the one by Toytec:
ToyTec Coil Overs (95.5-04 Taco & 96-02 4RUN)

..and the one by Sonoran Steel:
Econo-Adjustable Front Coil-Over
(correct me if I'm wrong, but these use the Tundra TRD coils, right?)

I wanted to see everyone's opinions on the above coilovers, the pros and cons, and anything else you can comment on them. I'm thinking of pairing them with LC coils 7 wraps and Bilstein shocks in the back unless anyone has comments or suggestions on that too. Thanks everyone for any input!

The 2 links point to the same thing but i am going to assume you are talking about these ToyTec Coilovers

The ToyTec's have a Eibach coil and they are adjustable for 0-3.5 inches without having to disassemble the shock. Those ToyTec ones also come assembled with top plates.
These are probably a better comparison to the SS ones.

Whoops, Thanks for pointing that out Steve!! I've fixed it.

I kinda figured whichever one I go with I'd probably have them assemble them for me so I can just put them on easier which is why I pointed to the assembled one (I figure the cost of the SS one will be a bit higher too once I ask them to assemble). I'm not really looking at the price (yet) of the two but more the ride and what--if any differences there are.
 
Gotcha. i think that Steve charges $150 to assemble them so that puts you at $650 for the front.

here is a thread comparing the two
