    Odd. I’ve used them on two trucks with no issues.

    Thanks for your insight. What makes you say that the coils I received are the older style?
    Did you get the rear springs too?
    Now that your issues are resolved how does the suspension ride?

    Another issue I forgot to mention is the pitting of surface of the springs; The spring surface is not smooth.
    Is this normal? Or an indication of manufacturing defects?

    Trying to decide if I should just return everything and buy something else.

    I got the stage 2 kit with front, rear, leaf springs and UCA. The kit rides fine but I wouldn't say it was worth the hassle of getting the issue resolved. I've used the 6112s and 5160s, toytec aluma boss and now the ironmans.
    I read on some forums the green springs were an older model that were prone to the rubbing and bowing. Take that with a grain of salt because I fell down several forum holes because I had months until they got the bowing and rubbing issue resolved. If I could do it again I'd go back with the Bilstein or Toytecs.
    Also I can't go full lock without the coilover making contact with the tie rods, I never had this issue with any other set up I was running.

    Finally got my 3.5' Foam Cells in today after a long wait.
    2012 Tundra 5.7 4wd.
    Time to replace the 3.5 RC struts.
    2.5" OME rear springs.

    Finally got my foam cell pro 3.5" installed. What a difference from the 3.5 RC bolt on struts. They absorb the road bumps so much better. It doesn't feel or sound like my truck is about to fall apart. Nice and solid!
