Toytec vs Revtek Lift

Hi all,

Is The Toytec 3" lift really higher than the Revtek 2.5" lift? According to the pictures I see, they both look the same. I wanna order my lift right away but not sure on which to buy. What would you recommend?

Did you use the original shocks or did you install longer ones?

I am leaning towards the Toytec 3" too. Do we need limit straps? Or upper ball joint upgrade?

if the spacer attaches over the coilover assembly, get a uniball upper ball joint or limit straps to protect the upper ball joint. if it attaches between the coil and the top of the coilover assembly and requires a spring compressor for installation, you dont need limit straps or uniballs, but limit straps are nice because they will keep the suspension from extending out hard and potentially blowing the seals.

The Toytec has one spacer inside the spring and one outside. You do not need any shocks or straps or anything like that. Just instal and alighn.

I can tell you I got a true 3" of lift out of it.

thats good. theres a little angle left in the upper ball joint, a thin spacer on top takes advantage of it so youll get more travel on the front end plus higher ride height.
