    Trying to decide on a suspension kit for for my 2021 Tundra CrewMax.
    I drive approx. 75% on road and 25% off road and off road consist of fire roads and sand.


    Looking at 2.5" full suspension and have looked at several (BDS, Old EMU, ICON, ToyTec) and just trying to get a sense of what would be best for long term and reliability.

    Thanks

    For the $, hard to beat Toytec, OME, Eibach Pro Truck setups. Toytec and Eibach are threaded adjustable, OME is non adjustable. All are good quality and price and offer improvement over stock, higher ride height. Tons of pics, reviews, installs, etc of all these suspensions on this site. Search in upper right will help you find the threads and posts.

    Too many, but not enough....
    I have eibach coilovers in the front and 5160 in the rear with CB shackles, roadmaster active suspension and durobumps all around. Very happy with the setup. Its smooth as silk on road and very plush offroad and the bump stops really help soften the ride if you bottom out. I am sitting at 2" lift in the front and 2.5 in the back. I would say my spread of road to offroad is about the same as yours. For around 2500 bucks for my full setup, I think it is pretty hard to beat but any of the above suggested brands will probably do you well.

    Something to consider is the amount of weight you have or plan to have on your rig. Some folks with icons were dissatisfied with the lift achieved on the front. I just installed a set of 2.5 icons in the front and am almost at 2.75" with 700lb springs and Icon UCA's. I also have over 200lbs of added weight on the front. I think 2.75" is respectable all things considered. There's a set of 800lb Eibach springs that I'll upgrade to if the 700lb are too light. Just some things for you to consider.
