    Since you already know you want a 3" lift and everything then that really removes one of the big benefits of the dedicated Fox/King type coilovers which is height-adjustability on the truck. It all really depends on how much money you have - if you have a big bank account buy the Tundra PRO coilovers for $900 a piece - but beyond the 6112 you are kind of getting diminishing returns, so its a good VALUE. The Fox/Kings will give a better ride if setup right, but not THAT much better for sort of an everyday truck as you've described, so its your call.

    Also, if you want that 3" lift you will probably have to add a Coachbuilder .25" height shim on top of the coilover to achieve roughly 2.9" - as the 6112 is 2.5" typical lift on top notch for 4x4's. And if you're going that high and with such a new truck then personally I would buy some nice upper control arms too and then put a 1"+ block or shackle on the back to keep some rake, then a Coachbuilder carrier bearing drop kit for rear is only like $30 bucks and two bolts to lower your driveshaft for that rear lift.

    Checked the build. It looks great. Are the 5100s enough... they are like $700 cheaper than 6112/5160.

    Good enough for me. 5100s and 5160s are the same. 5160 has a reservoir, runs cooler for off roading.
