Suspension choice for overloaded Tundra.

Hey guys!

My 2014 Tundra will be 600 lbs over GVWR. So I'll be 7800 with a camper, drawers and a steel rear bumper. So much of the weight will be in the rear. I do plan to get a winch in the future. I have Airlift Airbags right now but I need to upgrade my stock TRD Bilstein.

I narrowed it down to OME BP51, Icon Stage 8 or Icon stage 4 with Dakar leaves. I would appreciate recommendations and suggestions. I needed it to have a soft ride on the pavement and be able to absorb those bumps on BLM roads.

Thanks much!

 

If it were me I would go with the OME BP5's and an added leaf and or air bags for when you are towing. ARB has great customer service from my experience. And, their shocks/suspension come with a 3 year 36k warranty. I have heard multiple complaints with Icon stuff and their customer service. And not just on the internet. Hope that helps!

 

Deaver U748’s leafs for the extra weight and towing for the rear. Pick some shackles of your choice. I have ADS Shocks up front with 650lb springs with a pelfrey bumper and winch.

 

And you have lots of choices for the front. Get a MidTravel setup if you want compliant ride on faster dirt roads. You have Fox, ADS, King etc... if you want to really fast then look at long travel.

 

Get a bigger truck. Or a lighter camper.

 

Thanks! I’ll start looking them up.

 

Well T he camper is already light (AT Summit). But you are right I may have to go for a different truck.
