    So I have a 2015 tundra crewmax with a 6inch suspension block lift right now, I went on some trails and hit a rut...then my coilover spring broke free of the shock. And now I’ve been debating getting rid of the block lift and get ting the @toyotec boss suspension lift or going with a 6inch rough country lift. I’m just wondering what some people got to say about @toyotec or what I should do in general. Thank you! I’m also new here, love the forum so far

    I have the Toytec/Radflo 2.5’s and think they’re a solid product. Also, it’s never a bad idea to jettison a block or bracket lift, even though it will take a lil moolah to get out of it.

    Check out my build thread. I run the Toytec BOSS kit. Zero issues in over 3 years.

    OP also has 35 x 12.5 on Tundra Limited 20s. We are hoping to find a solution that does not rub.

    The build looks really good! Are you still running 35’s? If so do they rub? Or did you cut the fender a little bit?

    Do you have 35x11.50’s? Because I run 35x12.50’s and was wondering if the lift would still run well with them

    Welcome John. Wheel offset makes a huge difference. Also, running 20" wheels off road doesn't help nearly as much as an 18 when you air down.

    Do you know anything about Old Man Emu and their lifts? That’s another lift I was looking at, sounds about the same height I’d get with the toytec but was wondering if you knew the OME lift would work with my tires

    Ya. It’s 3” but non adjustable and coils are a little stiffer. You can stuff 37” with no lift with the eight wheel offset.

    I’m sticking with 35x12.50 for now, I’m guessing that would work with that lift. Do you know what CMC stands for?

    cab mount chop. Sounds worse than it is. Done correctly it's hard to tell it didn't come that way from the factory.

    Thank you for the info, I’ve been seeing that a lot and had no idea what it meant

    It's also referred to as BMC, body mount chop. Plates are available through vendors like Relentless but often the guy doing the work will make his own. Milofab for one, does amazing work.
