    2.5 vs 3.0 triple bypasses up front. Is there a worthwhile difference?

    Yes, get 3.0 if you can afford it.

    i guess it’s more of a, spend $750ish more and wait another 3+ months for 3.0 or save the $750 and the 2.5’s are currently in stock

    A long travel bro will have to chime in. That's a tough trade. Buy once cry once, but I'm impatient too so :D

    I never considered 2.5s. I did consider 3.5s. I found some brand new Fox 3.0 4 tubes on RDC and that's what I went with. BTW my Fox bypasses (rear) are waaaay quieter than Kings. I've been really surprised by the 3 trucks I've ridden in and how loud the Kings are. I'm really happy with the 4 tube and wouldn't want fewer.

    Too many mods to come
    If you can wait I would recommend 3.0 for sure. Larger fluid capacity alone. I've got a 3.0 triple in the rear and will probably move to a 3.0 front at some point. I'd also say Fox's have much better dampening control. Accutune has some great videos and articles on that.

    Nope. 2.5 is more than enough for what bolt on kits are capable of, and everything is already a tight fit. 3.0 is nice to look at though. I don’t really consider anything that has the stock coil towers “LT” anymore.

    I’ve also heard that on these bolt on kits like the Dirt King kit that I have that going with a 3.0 May be leave little to no room for adding a bump up front.

    Are you proposing we now have another level of LT in the Tundra game?

    Stock, Coilover, MT, MT2, LT and LT2?

    I think you’re right.
