    Ok fellas I sold my 16 2SS Camaro i haven't driven it but once or twice since i got my Truck and i want to take the money i got from selling it and put it into my truck. the 2 things i am wanting to do is a Truck Topper and i think i am going RSI sport or Adventure when they come out with them for the Tundra early next year. So the help i need is on this Suspension . I have researched so much the more i read the more lost i am getting lol.

    I watched youtube videos of Surplus Suspension and the guy went over like 7 of them and each time he got to the next one i was like This is the one lol. Here is what i am running wheels and tires now with a leveling kit and Fabtech UCA..... I have 20 inch Fuel wheels and BFG K02 35x12.5 tires i believe with a small spacer they were on the truck when i got it a couple months ago. I can spend pretty good on this setup but don't want to be 7k or 8k nuts on it... I do have a C4 Fab full overland bumper coming and i will be using a Warn Zion 12k Lb Winch and like i said above the Truck Topper and i'll also use a Decked system in the back . So whatever i go with i have to account for the extra weight please.

    below are the 5 i have narrowed it down to.. I am leaning towards the Fox 2.5 with the DSC just because i like the amount of adjustment that can be done without taking them off.

    Thanks for the help guys.

    Nice looking truck, Love the grill!

    Sorry I don't have anything to add about your question, but seems all are nice suspension packages.

    Good luck.

    I don’t have any real experience with any of these systems, but I’ll probably buy the Falcon setup when it’s time to ditch these 5100s.

    Bilstein 8112 for the win. Far as I know, they are the only true internal bypass shocks on your list and are very impressive from a technical perspective. We're a bit short of anecdotal reviews since they are new and limited supply, but its a clear choice IMHO

    Tuned FOX 2.5 DSC shocks! Proven to work very well and last a long time. Not ride height sensitive like IBPs are. Great brand, quality parts, just about any company that rebuilds shocks will have parts for them.

    Falcons are awesome especially if you will have variable load in the rear (unloaded at times and loaded at other times) if you are invested, here is a sweet deal on some low mileage ones. Falcons are currently out of stock and list price is 1750, so this is a lot of cost savings and include coilovers which you normally have to provide.

    I have OME nitrochargers, springs, dakar leaf pack w/ extra leaf. Saved me a couple grand vs. the BP51s. Love the setup so far and I don't really need the adjustability of the BP51s.

    Running an RCI Bed rack, CVT RTT, Decked drawers(loaded down), RCI engine/transmission/rear diff skid. Up next is an ARB full front bumper/winch, Victory 4x4 sliders and Victory rear swingout bumper.

    Truck rides great and has approximately 4 inches of lift. Sitting on 17" method 703s-0 offset with Cooper STT Pros 315/70/r17FCAC9EB9-FB77-4586-AD11-9BE7BFE506E9.jpg 0EADF180-4F80-4797-A7A0-9D754BCDB4BB.jpg . Only needed to remove front mud flaps and trim front bumper. No BMC.
