    2021 Tundra CM Nightshade
    Eibach stage 2 (JUNK), SmartCap, Airbags, CoachBuilder Stuff, Bora spacers, 35” falken AT3W tires.
    2021 tundra crew max 4x4, with smart cap and a decked drawer system, 35x11.5x20 wildpeak on factory nightshade wheels with bora 1.25” spacers.

    Currently…

    Front: JBA uca, eibach 2.0 coilover front with coach builder shims, coach builder diff drop and coach builder carrier bearing spacer.

    Rear: coach builder 3” shackles, eibach shocks, Firestone airbags.

    EXTREMELY disappointed with the eibach coil overs and shocks. After only 18 months they are junk. Covered in corrosion, adjusters are completely seized and the ride is unacceptable.

    my hope would be to retain the UCA and rear setup and replace the front coil overs and rear shocks with something better quality and compatible with my setup.

    Interested in the bilstein 8112 setup front and rear…but very open to ideas.

    I don’t go off road in the sense of rock crawling or desert runs. But I do travel a lot of miles on fire roads and washouts to get to hunting grounds. It is a daily driver so superior ride quality on and off road are main objectives. Mild towing fairly regularly with a variety of 5000# weight trailer or less.

    Thoughts?

    I had my suspension choices narrowed down to these two, the Dobinsons MRA/MRR and the 8112/8100. However, there seems to be new issues with Dobinsons shocks being mounted now, according to Exit Off-road website.
    Looks like you now need to do some additional work to fit properly, and run aftermarket wheels.
