So, i recenetly made the mistake of ordering the Tuff Country 3" spacer lift kit. no sooner than i got it i realized if im gonna lift it i want to lift it right (new springs and shocks, not spacers. so, i came across the Toytec Ultimate 3" lift kit, comes with Front Coil overs, Rear Coils, spanner wrenches for adjustment, front diff drop kit, and sway bar relocates. Anyone have a suggestion on this? reccomendations? here is the link to the lift...

I have no suggestions, I had bought a 3" lift kit from Rough Country, and came with everything, and my boyfriend at the time took 5 hours and had it in, not one problemo. Good luck...

Thanks, I actually, went ahead and installed my Tuff Country 3" lift that i had boughtoriginally, it came with rear shocks, a diff drop kit skid plate drop kit and spacers. took me 7 hours to install but i bought a cheap strut compressor from harbor frieght for $50. i figured i would only need it once so what the hell... it jammed up on my first strut so i had to cut the dam thing off. luckily no damage was done to my strut, but then my buddy had a compressor that he let me borrow had it on no problem, THe only reason i had second thoughts on this originally was cus i talked to a fella that said his CV shafts went out after he put on the same lift... however he did the install wrong and didnt put on the diff drop kit. his mistake. ive had it on 3 weeks so far and love it!!! here in the next 2 years or so im going to upgrade to the 6". but for now this one looks great and even performs great. kept the same size tires for now since my tires were still good, but i may decide to leave the original 265.75r16's on her later instead of getting bigger ones. not sure on that yet. how do you like your lift? any problems so far?

wow sounds like quite the ordeal. I have not had any problems, other than 1 rear shock going, and I just ordered one from "toughCountry" and has been great since. Manufactures defect on the rough country one they said. I have 285.70r, 17's wrangler good year on mine, and I love them, gives it that much more of a higher look. I would also like to put a 6" lift in mine soon too, they look just great, and a wider tire I would like too... but for now I like mine the way it is. What color is yours? They sure are nice, and I got some grahics on the bottom, and have had lots of compliments on it, so much you can do to them. Where will you decide to get your 6" from? I know rough country also has the 6" too.
