Would this be good for my 2001 tundra?

    I bet the Bilsteins on the front would ride better than the rancho and that tire is going to require quite a bit of trimming to clear.

    I've never heard much about Rancho on our trucks. I'd probably go with OME.

    Also, I don't see how you would fit that big of tire up front unless that's one hell of a lift.

    That tire size seems pretty big.
    Is your Gen 1 4x4? If you are going to lift your gen 1 more than 2" in front, you will need to add UCAs and a diff drop to your list. Otherwise your upper ball joints will be over extended and clunk like hell over all bumps and your CV boots will be constantly tearing or slipping off of the seal.

    Lose the 3" black nerf bars. Get some real sliders. Unless you just plan on mall crawling.

    Don't get the Rancho front lift. Go Bilstein, OME, or something along those lines with a trusted track record.

    Those tires will likely rub, as others have mentioned. Unless spacers are added I think you will have issues, and possibly you will even have issues with spacers. Not sure.

    If you like those Nerf bars, you do you man.

    Also it was mentioned but it's worth repeating, you will likely need UCA's and a diff drop. Diff drops is cheap, like $30 or so and helps correct driveline angle. UCA's help correct angle as well, but there is significant cost there.

    I just got the Rancho quick lift shocks front and rear for my 2006 Tundra for 500 bucks to my door. Went on a wheeling trip this weekend and was super impressed with them. I’d say there a better ride then the 5100s but haven’t had them long enough to comment on durability vs the 5100s. The problem with the 5100s is you still have to buy a new spring/top hats and they aren’t put together unless you pay extra money. So the 5100s are still over 650 plus dollars. Also the shock is super compressed on those with a 2 inch lift. My advice if your weary of Rancho is get the Bilstein 6112s which is a way better shock then the 5100s and comes with a spring already. Just needs to be installed with new top hats if yours is old. Also, those nerf bars are worthless and if your doing any off-roading they will get torn up quick. Didn’t see the 35s either. That will be a tuff fit.
