    A solid set of UCAs and a set of kings will definitely give you a solid stance with actual performance as well.

    Depends on what you want to do with your truck. Stay away from spacer lifts, lose ride quality.
    I just swapped my RC lift for toytec boss coilovers, I wish I did this first.

    I lve in the mid atlantic area, no off roading. looking to level the truck. alot of highway travel. it seams all of the imput is for toytec. alot of tunra owners here do spacers.as i understand spacers go on top of the shock and coil assembly, is that correct? thank you for the feed back

    Look into bilstein 5100s, they're great bang for $ for what you're looking to do, and adjustable, next step up would be bilstein 6112s, top of the line icon, king, fox

    I have the Readylift 3/2 SST kit. Will I lose any height at all if I swap for the Toytec 3" coilovers?

    No, they're adjustable, they come preset to 3", I cranked mine another 1/2", aligned fine, you'll get a better ride also

    Im happy with it for my use. Readylift is one of the higher rated companies as far as spacer lift kits are concerned. There are many members in the forum with them. As @Berdine said, coilovers will give a better ride. The ride of the Readylift is about the same as stock. If you are thinking of the 3/2 kit, Amazon has the best price on it.

    Spacer lifts aren't bad, I ran them on my 07, and my jeep for few years. But I do feel you loose ride quality. 5100s require you to take apart your stock coils and reuse them. So if you want to adjust them after they're installed, you'd have to take them apart again. But you can get the. For around $200.

    I have the 3 inch ToyTec boss coilover kit with UCAs. Rides smoother than stock that I can remember. Put them on at 2500 miles on the truck, now at almost 35000. 700 lb springs
