Question Want to upgrade a lift. HELP PLEASE

I currently have a 3" spacer lift and a AAL installed on my 2002 Tundra. I would like to upgrade the suspension to a coilover and also change the UCA as well.
I just don't know what coilover would be best. Please let me know what you all out there think and what I can get for the application I am looking for. Thanks

What's the application? Fast on the beach, mud pits, rocks? What you wanna do with it, in the end?

But anyway...Camburg or Icon coilovers with a Camburg upper control arm, and you'll be set.

It's just that you might not need that sort of equipment. Maybe you really only need a Bilstein 5100, and the stock upper arm...or an OEM ball joint style aftermarket arm, or some combination. That's a 200$ parts bill for shocks and a few hundred for the arms, compared to 1500+ for the Burg/Icon route.

Well it is my daily driving vehicle. I just want to get a more stable lift than the spacer lift. I would consider going the camburg coilover and camburg UCA's for the better stable lift.
How is the install on both those items????

Don't have the UCA's yet but the camburg coilover's I did in my garage with just a set of hand tools and here's a thread on installing the UCA's

I have the icon coilovers (6" application) and love how they ride. Can't wait to go back home... I'll be on island on the 26th. Just in time for my birthday.
