ome3-run lift options

so im looking at the toytec OME 3" Lift 4Runner Coil Kit my question is how much offroading/mudding can i do with just the lift without the panhard bar and diff drop? i plan on getting both of them but i cant afford it right due to upcoming trips. but i need suspension bad. i have about an inch and a half droop right now and the roughest ride ever. i probably wont do very much offroad till i get the drops but i might make the occasional trip up the mountain before then. anyhow thanks in advance for the repiles,

im an idiot i have ifs.. no need for panhard bar..

I personally wouldn't do anything over 2" without a diff drop nor would I go over 2.75" of lift w/o selectable hubs. How much could a diff drop be? You can get the parts at home depot I believe. There used to be a thread on that, but I haven't seen it in a while...

My thoughts:
Great looking lift
Great ride
Great Price
and https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/a...3-lift-145039/

I did notice an improvement in ride quality from the drop bracketmbut it won't damage anything to wheel without it. Even with the Diff Drop I am breaking axels on harder obsticles with this lift and tokico shocks.

That has been my experience, but some others have said they are not having trouble. Or get a SS lift system.
