    I've been reading up on a few threads for lift but still a little confused as to which is best. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I have a 2016 SR5 TRD with a sway bar and I want to level the truck in addition to lifting it 3". My budget is about 1k and I mainly use it for work and city driving but planning on some light off roading but nothing extreme. There are so many such as Readylift, Bilstein, Fox, and Icon and I'm pretty lost . What would you guys recommend that would be a good fit for me. Thanks

    So you're looking at a 5-6" lift then.

    I'm new at this so this is probably a stupid question.but how would that be a 5-6 " raise ? I'm under the impression that the front is about 2" lower than the back so if I raise the front to even w the back and lift the entire truck by 3" then it will be considered as a 3" raise no ? Or am I wrong on how that is calculated. Sorry newbie question .

    Thanks bro ! I live in CA so do you know what the labor fee would be for a shop to put it together like a rough estimate? Also , what's the difference between this set and like a readylift ?

    Sorry I don't . I just remembered it from reading one of the thread on here . Someone member mentioned the Readylift and some mentioned the boss toytec and the set that u recommended so I was trying to figure out one of these set would work best for my budget and usage. I appreciated all the help man . So in reality w parts and labor I'm looking at around 1300ish then .
