ICON stage 1 vs Toytech ultimate 3inch lift

Lifting in my FJ soon....debating on which 3 inch lift to get. Any advise from those that may have either one of these?

ICON hands down!
Worth the $. I had the OME Medium, then heavy springs with reservoir shocks on the rear (1000 plus lbs load in the back) and enjoyed it, but switched to ICON and LOVE it. ICON has more flex, better ride and keeps within better factory specs. I started with ICON stage 1 and worked (working) up to full stage 5 (at about stage 3 now). Expensive but worth it, ICON stage 1 is a great base and you can build off of it if you decide to do so.
Toytec is a great affordable lift and is functional too.

FWIW, i say save your money and don't get the UCAs. All the Icon UCAs i've seen or super sick looking but they have some issues. At full droop they come really close to hitting the spring and the shock perch. Go with TC, Camburg, or LR UCAs. Half the price.

Finally got all the parts in for my Icon Stage 1. Is this an easy install.....looks like it could with the right tools. What's the word on a install day in the greater Sacramento area? Any recommendations on installers in lieu of the install day. I'd drive a bit if need be.

I should have the parts for my ICON stage 2 by next week. If there is no install day soon, we can get together and help each other. I am about 30 miles east of Sac. on hwy 50.
