    If anybody is reading this thread like I was and wants and updated review-- don't hesitate to buy this system. I went with it after debating between this, 6112/5100 or 6112/5160, and couldn't be happier. Set the coilovers on the second setting and my truck is dead on level. Great ride quality, handling, and lift.

    How much lift did you get? Is your tundra a 4x4?

    Thread is pretty quiet, but I am installing this tomorrow. My coilovers came from Toytec with the coil installed on the first notch (2.5"). The truck currently has a 3/1 leveling kit (spacer) from the dealer so I needed 3" with the current 305/55/20. I compressed and reinstalled on the second notch to get as close to 3" as possible. We'll see how this all pans out.

    Man, what a beautiful truck. I love the bronze on black. What size wheels and tires you running? I am swapping from the Platinum 20s to TRD Pro 18s and most likely going to run a 275/70/18.

    Got the front end done today. Pretty straightforward install. Nothing out of the ordinary except I found that a diff drop has been installed. The spacers are really small however and I dont think I like that. What do you guys think?

    :Eibach 2.5" Lift :SPC UCA's :34" Toyo AT3's :10" BA Muffler
    I'm a new member and have been lurking for a month since i purchased the truck.

    Purchased the Eibach stage 1 level/lift kit 2.5" and SPC upper control arms from doing research from this forum.

    Also ordered a 10" BAM Muffler, which I wont receive for another 3 weeks.....SIGH..(that wait)

    A local Professional Offroad shop will be installing the lift/level and UCA's in a couple weeks. They will also do the alignment as well. Hope everything goes good..

    I will upload a before and after Pic of the truck when finished, but for now here are some pics of the kit and uca's.

    What setting are you putting your Eibachs at? I went second perch and got damn near dead nutz 3" I'll be doing the SPCs as well. But going to run the OEMs for a while just to see.

    I ordered the stage 2 kit from eibach direct a week or two ago when they were on sale. Should be arriving any day.
    To add to that kit
    Coach builder +3 shackle kit
    Coach builder shims (coil overs and bumper)
    Diff drop kit
    Firestone ride rite bags and spacers
    35x11.5x20 toyo at3
    1.25” wheel spacers

    undecided on UCA. I’m told not needed but I’d hate to do all this and find they’re needed. But at the same time I’d hate to put them on if they’re not needed....hence the undecided! Haha

    I would buy them if you can afford it. It'll be easier to align, and with many aftermarket varieties, like SPC, the ball joints are easily replaceable without any sort of press.

    cost isn’t issue. It was just a matter of necessary or not. David at coachbuilder said no. Even though I told him it didn’t matter $$ wise. He went over every pieces of the project....and said there was plenty of room to get the alignment with the stock UCA.

    That is fair. It certainly can't hurt to save some money! He is correct, and at 2.5" of lift you shouldn't have an issue with an alignment. The additional caster options with SPC just helped me fit a taller tire by moving it forward a bit, but I'm also at a higher lift as well so I it also helped with my overall alignment.

    Maaaaaan I’ve been debating this kit for over a year now. And THEN, I moved to Denver this month! Excited to be able to drive to Toytec on my lunch break. For those who went toytec/eibach, do you plan to wheel? I’m planning moderate wheeling/overland probably a few times a year. Want something that’ll hold up but don’t need/want to go overkill. Was also considering Aluma Boss 2.0. Another perk for the boss is it’s fully rebuildable. All input welcome! Thanks guys.

    You see!? King of free advice right here. I put it all in a blender and chug the resulting slough of mixed opinions. I'll consider whether or not there are any full-speed median shenanigans in my future to help steer me toward or away from 2.5s hahaha. Great to meet you as well, brother!

    1st picture is stock. Other pictures are after level/lift. (2.5")
    It drives good and feels a little more "sporty"..

    I’ll definitely grab some pictures for before and after..
    Trying to make up my mind about whether to do it tonight by myself and make it to an alignment shop tomorrow morning..or do it on Monday(holiday) and take it to an alignment shop on Tuesday. I don’t want to rush it tonight..but then again I’m ready to get this knocked out.
