    Trying to decide between Toytec Eibach Kit: or the Bilsteins
    The deal offered for Toytec for 10% is hard to pass up.

    Truck is a 2015 Crewmax 4x4 with 20"s, 275 60 BF KO2 ATs and black OEM shocks.
    I do not off-road and want the best road possible. Trying to stay within this price range.

    Thanks!

    This is $872 shipped, is this the best deal I'm going to find? Want a nicer ride than spacer lift or 5110s. Seems to be cheaper than the 6112/5110 and adding rear shackles

    Front Coilovers
    1 x TUNEBCS-2 - Toytec/Eibach Complete Front Coilovers - 3" Lift $512.00
    Front Diff Drop Kit
    1 x RM83012 / TU-DR-07 - Front Differential Drop Kit for 4x4 07+ Tundra / 08+ Sequoia $30.99
    Rear Shocks
    1 x E60-82-067-02-01-P - Eibach Pro-Truck Rear Sport Shocks (0-1.5" Lift) for 07+Tundra $206.00
    Rear Lift Options
    1 x SKLTUN-2247 - Toytec Adjustable 1-1.5" Lift Shackles with Spring Bushings $219.98

    Eibach COs and rear AAL., Morimoto XBs, Rough Country 20" Light Bar, Rough County Ditch Lights, CBI ditch brackets, rock lights,
    I'll add that I just installed the Toytec Eibach coilovers in the front and Bilstein 5100's in the rear and added a leaf to my already pretty old leaf springs on my 07. I also did the diff drop and the SPC adjustable control arms. So far, the ride is comparable to the stock TRD offroad shocks that I had on it before, just lifted. I think the COs are a good deal for the price. I just didn't want to add a block in the rear so I went with an AAL.

    I am also considering this setup: Toytec vs Bilstein. I offroad lightly, camping trips, forest service roads, potholes, etc. I had a Tacoma with the 6112/5160 setup and loved it. I thought it was a much smoother, more responsive ride than stock with a slight lift as well. For my purposes, the rear is high enough for me, just looking to "level out" the front and get an overall better ride quality and slightly more travel in the rear.

    I have the Toytec set up and love it. Comfortable ride and smooth on pavement. I occasionally go on camping trips at Joshua Tree and can handle light off road duty no problems. I set the shackles at 1.5".
    Plus I have 18" wheels with 35's and they fit without problems(its all about wheel offset). My brother has an expensive King's suspension set up and I could not notice the difference in ride comfort. Maybe for off-road purposes but mine is a daily driven street princess. In my opinion for the price and the reputation of Eibach, its a win/win. Of course this is just my personal experience and might not be the same for others. I chose Eibach because when I was a youngster I would always put Eibach spring or coilovers in my vehicles and they performed well. Hope this helps... and good luck

    That’s the offset I have on methods but currently running 285/65/18’s on 5100’s all around. Been searching this forum looking for the right 3/1 setup with 35’s. Good to know, thanks!
