3rd Gen Toytec or OME

i drive a 02 4runner limited 2wd and am looking for a front coil option for a full 3 inch lift, need help deciding between
Toytec/Eibach front coil lift springs


or
Front OME Coils (95.5-04 Tacoma & 96-02 4Run) with a spacer to get the full 3 inch lift.


hopefully i didnt miss any threads about this while searching! if so i apologize!

I've installed both and sell both. I think you would be happy with both.

If you are going to lift it, it will definitely ride better with all new coils/shocks.

The OMEs are nice, but the front coilovers in the Ulitmate Lift Kits are very nice.

ya i think the OME coils will definitely be an improvement over the spacer lift. I have a 2002 2wd sport so take a look at my profile and u can see the lift im running bc i like it. Though u could get the 881s or 883s as elton said.

Both will ride much better.

Spacers load the springs unintendedly and make your ride harse.

You can't go more than 3" or your CVs will go boom.

It will probably be close to the same amount of lift, but adjustable up front to where you want it, but it will ride MUCH better.

The put together coilovers in the ultimate lift use adjustable shocks, so you can dial in your lift height.

2WD doesn't have CVs last time I checked, unless it is a front wheel drive 4Runner of course.

I was being sarcastic, 2wd 4Runner don't have the cv axles (front drive shafts).

Whoops.

Nothing available to lift it that high except bracket lifts and those are probably 4WD only. 3" is max you'll find.
