    Hello all,

    I am getting mixed information and want to be sure before i do anything.

    This is for 2016 SR5 -

    I'd like to go with procomp 3" front and 2" rear leveling kit install, but it looks like this will require a differential drop, skid plate drop and also recommends a new struts for a lift that high.

    If it makes it much easier, i would be ok with Toytec 2.5" front and Daystar 1.5" rear, but I am unsure if that would still require any of the above mods (drop diff, drop skid plate, struts?)

    Lift is a lift doesn't matter what brand.

    Diff drop doesn't do much but its cheap as hell so I say why the hell not if you get it.

    You should get new struts regardless your stockers aren't meant to operate on the extra travel.

    If you are going 3/2 you will also need upper control arms.

    If you go 2.5/1/5 you wont need upper control arms. I have heard you want 2.5 degrees caster as a minimum spec per Toyota. I was able to get 2 degrees on both sides. No issues. I come from driving sports cars and am very sensitive to changes and cannot tell a difference.
