    That’s great feedback; both from a product but also a vendor standpoint. The BP51s have some great features and ride customization.

    Thanks...

    It really is a weird review in that I LOVE this kit... it handles Washboard and even lower level Rock Crawling... plus it is amazing to stop Nose diving and sway on regular highway and city driving... If they could just solve this one basic leak issue I feel like for the money it has got to be the best kit for the money.

    1,000 mile update on mine; still smitten!

    A pop/deep-sounding creak has developed in the front though that I'm starting to hear. I've gotten on the bumper and jumped up and down like crazy and cant replicate it parked. But if I brake somewhat hard or start from stop somewhat fast it will make the sound.

    Anyone else experienced this?
    I'm not bitching, and can handle the little pop/creak, but on the same token, I'd make it go away if I could.

    Do you have little dents in the front COs? Sometimes mine would do that, it appeared that the front swaybar was hitting the CO on the driver side. Hasn't done it since I had a front end alignment. I'm not saying that fixed it or that might be your issue. Just coincidence for me.

    Realigned I meant to say.

    I'll take a look when I go get kiddo here in a few.
    I dont think anything is making contact that shouldn't be. I shook down the whole front end pretty seriously on sunday and found no red flags :notsure:

    Mine would act like yours did sometimes or it would make a popping sound if I backed out of the driveway a certain way. About 5 months ago it was time to do an alignment and I noticed that after the alignment it stopped popping. I'm chalking it up to coincidence. Maybe/probably it's just settling in. I am not complaining, I have only ran OME for the last 15 years, except on the wifes T4RL.

    I bought a lifetime alignment from Firestone, so I might swing back in and have them give it another go.
    Thank you sir!

    My truck made a weird popping noise when turning and the front suspension worked at first. It must have went away without me realizing because I forgot about it. I assume settling in? If it’s not he sway bar rubbing. (I deleted mine and it still made a noise).

    I'm hoping its just things settling in.
    I need to go put the kit through its paces on a trail an break it in! :mudding:

    I was curious about the sway bar myself. I double checked it and it's nice and tight, and I didn't see anywhere that it was making contact, but who knows

    I just received my kit ordered from Toytec. Having it installed Tuesday 2/4/20 . I went with the 613 springs because I plan on going with a heavy duty bumper and winch combo. I'll write a review after the install.

    What lift did you get? 2.5" and anticipated weight of bumper with winch? I went with the 614's and had a decent ride with winch bumper and winch on my 07. The 613's might ride a bit harsh....

    What winch and bumper weight? Makes all the difference to match up the springs for best ride.

    Nice. I have the 613’s with an arb bumper but no winch yet. It took getting used to the truck feel without just a winch FYI.

    I'm very happy with the outcome. Great increase in ground clearance especially for break over angle . The 613 front springs do ride stiffer but it's not harsh. IMO it feels like a stock f250 now. This is a woods /trail / winter beater that's going to see plenty of off road usage and is not my daily. I see now that getting UCA's will be a must have to correct the camber. Those are next , then she's going to be gaining some weight (bumpers , winch,rock rails,camper cap ,roof racks , mild solar , batteries,water ect). upload_2020-2-11_6-52-13.jpg upload_2020-2-11_6-53-27.jpgupload_2020-2-11_6-53-49.jpgupload_2020-2-11_6-54-16.jpg

    I installed my OME lift on my LandCruiser and wheeled the shit out of it for 12 years. I never had any shock leaks or anything wrong with the lift. Never had one on a Tundra but if I wanted to good lift at a good price I would choose OME hands down

    Looks bitchin! Glad you like the 613’s, as do I. I also have more weight (bumpers, sliders, roof rack) and the 613 is the way to go imo!

    Any input on this vs a Bilstein 6112/5160 setup? I’m between the two. Definitely a “set it and forget it” type so not worried about adjustability.

    Is this a 3/1 lift? All I've read says their 2.5".
    Just wondering if it actually gives you 3"
    Also do you need a carrier bearing drop kit with this?

    It's 2.5" on all four corners. The front varies depending on spring and bumper weight.

    I ran this lift on my 07 without the carrier bearing drop kit. The rear drivetrain had a slight cavitation starting from a stop. It went away when ever I had a load or was towing. I put over 100k on the lift no issues.

    My lift ended up being closer to a 3.5” but I have the stiffest spring rate. I also run a diff drop kit

    Are far as the bearing carrier and diff drop...its just 2 "spacer washers" basically isnt it?
    I work as a machinist at my job and I could turn those out a lathe pretty quick
