    Welcome from AZ. It looks like both of those option will work. But I think the toytec will give you 3" of lift. You can give @ToyTec Lifts a call

    Hey @Basstundra stundra ! Both are great options, but on thing to think about, the Bilstein shocks will only go up to the 2.25'' lift setting in the front end, if you are wanting to go higher in the future then I would recommend a different route...

    The Adjustable front coilover option is probably the best way to go about it since you can adjust them to just level out the front end and if and when you want to push it to the full 3'' of lift you can simply adjust and toss in the rear lift option and call it a day..


    Shoot me a pm and I will gladly give you pricing on both setups if you'd like.


    Thanks





    Thank you for the tag @blue16

    @bassintundra here is my toytec suspension lift with 3 in front and 1.5 in back. On level ground it does look level and not jacked up in the back. Love it and ride is great on road. If you go this route, there is a tundras.com discount but you need to enter it on order. Otherwise, they will not honor it after it. Nobody knows why but that is the way it is.

    I have the same set-up on my 2012 CrewMax Limited and I'm admittedly not very educated on the benefits of this system, or how the kit alters the truck height from it's OEM specs. Also, the previous owner was running 285's, and while I like the ride and look of the tire, they are rubbing a bit on the Camburgs when I crank the wheel pretty hard. I've checked the gap where the lock out bump is, and it's about 3/4" when the tire just barely contacts the a-arm. I've decided to go with 1.5" spacers to give the OEM aluminum stock wheels some additional clearance. Is this a bad idea? I've already purchased the spacers (after doing plenty of research on what to look for in a spacer) and I'm ready to install them myself, just wondering if this is a dumb move that could further throw off the geometry, etc. BTW, I like the ride, the shocks seem fine, I do have that classic Tundra clunk when pulling away from a dead stop, but she goes down the road straight as a string in spite of the steering wheel being turned slightly to the left when going straight.

    Any advice is appreciated!

    Both will work fine. I would go with toytech though. Had a couple toytech kits over the years on dofferent yotas and was happy with them quality wise. But what i found though was i always wished i had went with a 6inch lift instead of level or 3. My point is if you even think you might want higher down the road it might be best to go a head and get the 6 the first time through. Eitherway thats all up to you. Toytech can help you with a 6inch lift as well. Congrats btw.
