    Just waiting on the new kit to arrive.
    Took the ridiculous and completely overkill route on my suspension upgrades and ordered the new Bilstein 8112's 8100's for the rear. Icon RXT multirate leafs and Camburg performance x-joint uca's
    Probably a month before it's all in the shop and ready to go on the truck.

    I've got method 701's in the garage waiting for rubber.

    Need to pick some tires asap! Probably going with fallen at4w, or the falken R/T hybrid or the toyo rt trail. Looking at 295/70r18 size up to 35/12.5's
    Truck isn't a daily or a commuter so don't have to be too practical, but don't want a full mud tire. Occasionally tow a 6500lb compact fifth wheel and mostly use the truck for weekend warrior back road/off-road adventures and hauling the camper around for a few weeks in the summer.

    Stoaked on the suspension, but damn there are too many tire options!

    It's called Ramp Rock, just outside of Vancouver BC. It's on Google maps. A bit of a meme at this point. All the 4x4 peeps around here have pics of their rig on it.

    If you’re looking at the 295/70-18 and a 35/12.50, it’s worth considering a 285/75-18. Get the 35 height, but closer to the 295/70 width.

    I’m in the same boat as you! I’m about to order the 8112/8100 as well, and a devar leaf spring kit, haven’t pulled the trigger yet as I know it’s overkill, but don’t want to buy ever again. I’ve got some icon wheels waiting for rubber too once I decide on lift, and looking at similar tires. Still looking for some knowledge from others who have run this suspension kit on the tundra and how they like it/how much better it is than others or not.

    A lot of folks have been waiting on the new ones as of late, but here's a review from a customer of ours who picked up the 8112/8100 combo from us -
    https://www.tundras.com/threads/bes...or-2020-tundra-4x4.127443/page-7#post-3384612

    We've got 3/4 of those kits on the shelf right now (just waiting on some right rears as every other retailer is as well) so if you haven't picked out a place to get them yet we'd love to help over here at Hotshot Offroad! I can tell you this... I have access to every single suspension on the market, and we make the conscious effort to test all kinds of different options to make sure we know everything that's out there. My next suspension will be the 8112/8100, and I anticipate it will be my last unless I decide to pull the lever and go full LT.

    Is everyone waiting on the DSC+ adjusters for the front coilovers? Those are probably over kill for me, as well as the rear bypasses and adjusters. Was looking at just the evo gray fronts, and smooth body rears with a Dev leaf spring kit for rear.

    They don’t make adjustable fronts for the Tundra yet. What everyone is waiting on is the adjustable rear right shock specifically. Bilstein is just delayed on producing them is all. We have all of the rest of the bits available!

    Darn. I was gonna replace the rears first since those are easy. My POS eibachs need to go in the garage. They annoy me every time I look at them. I can’t drive it because the coilovers are f’ed up.
