    Have you checked out Toytec/ Eibach 3'' front coilover setup?

    Nice simple front coilover system that yields 3'' of front end lift, all bolt on application and will give the proper stance and ride quality without messing with spring rates. Shoot me a pm if you have any questions!


    Thanks

    I would probably look at the Eibach kit through Toytec. Roughly $800 and comes fully assembled already, just swap them out.

    I put this lift kit on my 2013 tundra in July, promptly went to the desert handled all types of terrain much softer and smoother than the TRD off-road suspension that my truck came with. Put 35 x 11” wide Nitto ridge grappler’s couldn’t be happier with the whole set up

    I started with the Icon stage 1, loved it. I’d say the better option that has been mentioned since it’s rebuildable and all.

    The OME's are great but I got maybe 2 3/4" lift. They are advertised at 2.5". Depends on coils you select and load. Best bang for the buck 3" coilover lift is mentioned already>>>>>ToyTec's Eibach setup.

    As other have said. The biggest bang for the buck right now is this setup... sub $500. I have run this for 6-8 months. Drop in. No assembly required. Ride is great on and off road.

    The OME has a heavy option that handles weight real well

    Depending on weight you can (as stated above from texastundra27 a few times) go with the OME coilovers, they do offer a heavier coil option for the additional weight that you have.


    The Toytec BOSS front coilovers are a good option too, full adjustable coilovers with a 700lb spring rate to insure proper stance and ride quality the first time without any issues!


    OME: Coil options:
    • OME-612 Coils - Stock/Light Load (0-150 lbs) 2.5" Lift
    • OME-613 Coils - Heavy Load -5.7L V8 (200+ lbs) 2.5" Lift
    • OME-614 Coils - Heavy Load 4.7L V8 (200+lbs) 2.5" Lift

    BOSS front coilovers:

    Replaced my TRD Bilstiens with the Toytec Boss setup w/700lb spring. Nice lift and rides great on the hwy. Rides even better offroad. Whatever you end up with get it from Toytec. The customer service is spot on.

    I have 700lb springs on my Icons with no added weight and it rides great so don’t be afraid of the ride of such a heavy spring, it also helps with running no sway bar. @Toytec Lifts how are the Boss coilovers valved?

    The BOSS lineup is Toytec's brand specifically, so what we did was paired up with the engineers at Eibach to build each shock and valve it specifically to the weight of each vehicle.

    For the Tundra not only are you getting the shocks that are valved specific we also added a lower spherical heim for better articulation, along with double zinc coating the shock bodies and larger nitro steel hardened shock shafts for increased corrosion resistance.

    Awe shit. Hope it didnt cause to much damage.
    Everytime I take the truck/s to the dealership and tires were touched, I tighten my lugs before I leave.
    Had a service advisor come out once and assure me the lugs are torqued to spec.....as I was able to get a full turn and a half on one.

    This kit looks and sounds like the bomb.com. Damn. Ready to go and coilover for under $500. Might be the kit I look at in the future, although I like the Toytec coilovers a lot.

    Yup, everytime they drop it off after service I whip out the torque wrench check all the lugs and all the nuts theyve unscrewed, then crawl under and inspect before driving off. They always come and ask if somethings wrong which is good but I just double check everything
