    So basically I'm running a 1.75in spacer in the front from rough country and a 1 in rear block. I also have airbags installed. I'm looking to see if there's a setup out there that'll give me a 2 in lift in the front leveling the truck. I'm not looking for anything more then 2 in. I heard about coilovers but never tried them and don't really know too much about them. To sum it up, I'm looking for a 2in lift in the front, no lift in the back (I'll just remove the blocks) a soft ride and I'm also looking to replace the front and rear suspension for something that'll give me a smoother ride. Any recommendations on what suspension to go with and if coilovers are a good option? I don't mind having a stiff ride, but I'm looking for something softer on potholes and road bumps. Of course with a setup like this I don't want to cheap out, so I'm looking to spend roughly $2000 for a clean setup. IMG_0057.jpg

    Well, I know a lot of guys have gone with a Toytec Boss or Toytec Ultimate lift kit. They run about $1200.00 to $1300.00 and are adjustable from 2" to 3". I currently have a Pro Comp 6" lift on my Tundra, but I had a Toytec Ultimate lift on my previous 4Runner, and I loved it. Toytec also has EXCELLENT support. I'm sure others will chime in with suggestions as well.

    I exhausted myself looking at lifts and went with the toytec aluma series all around. Given your price point are you installing yourself? That gives you some room to replace them all around. $1299 for Aluma 2.5’s but you should change out UCA’s while you are at it ($600). Rears are $340 so you’d be a little over your price point for all 4. But they will throw you 5% off if you mention this forum.

    I’d have a local shop install them. I was leaning towards changing them and was also wondering if a differential drop was necessary. For the UCA, does toyotec sell a complete setup with everything necessary?

    Why do you have airbags? Are you towing or loading your bed a lot?

    They do. I called them and talked to them for probably an hour on my initial communications. They have cheaper setups than this I'm sure. But if you give them your budget I would guess they would maximize it to the amount. I ended up speaking with Jason, but others recommended Hugo to me. If you are just doing the fronts 2k is a good amount to get you a nice setup installed. I can PM you my quote to see what I did. Mine will be installed the first week of Feb. I guess its good to ask, where are you located? Toytec is 50 miles from me.

    That would be wonderful if you could, I live in Minneapolis, MN. If anything I would go through 4 wheel parts and have them install it

    Have you looked at Falcon shocks? They are about 1500 and you either reuse your front coil springs or you can buy new ones. Their fronts have adjustable height settings and the rear can be used at stock height. Their rear shock has an adjustable ride setting which helps with towing but I assume could also benefit if your bed is heavily loaded but you can change it when not loaded to help improve your ride.

    It might not work for you but it might. Good luck with your suspension hunt. Don't rush it, it will all work out :thumbsup:

    No, a diff drop is NOT necessary for 2 or 3" of lift on a 4x4 Tundra. Now, when you get over 4", then yes: cross member cut and diff drop.

    I have good results with Bilstein 5100 shocks all around and set to middle setting on the front.
