2nd gen lift concerns

i have pretty much decided on a OME lift from www.trdparts4u.com as they seem to be a decent kit for the price. I am just wondering what i can expect to have to do (in addition) to my runner if i add the option 1 (3"-4") lift to it rather than the option 2(1.5"-2"). I would prefer this lift as my 33in destination MT's are seeing some major rubbing action (even with a 2" BL) and my last wheeling trip had me bottoming out hard in this pit i was playing around in. I just want to know is my rig going to be functional with simply the kit or do i need to add a pan hard bracket, lower control arm truss, extended brake lines etc etc. My pocket book was just wondering.....

With Option 1 you will definately need the pan hard drop bracket and an extended rear brakel line and a brake proportioning valve relocation bracket (bpvrb). Option 2, no extended brake line and the pan hard is also optional but probably recommended if you take your truck off road a lot to keep the driveshaft from hitting your gas tank skid plate, still need a bpvrb. The LCA truss is not necessary for either and if you don't jump your truck or really beat it severly off-road it can probably wait until you get more $$.

Hope that helps. I have no body lift (yet) 33 x 12.5 BFG MT's, BJ spacers and a rear coil lift and I also have a tire rubbing issue. I'm hoping a 1.25" body lift and pounding the pinch weld flat inside the wheel well will fix the rubbing problem.

Good luck.
