    Looking at the 5100s bundle on headstrong offroad vs toytec website.

    Headstrong includes:
    5100s front/rear
    Eibach coils
    1.5" Deaver AAL
    1/4 drivers lean spacer
    LR UCA

    Toytec includes:
    5100s front/rear
    Eibach coils
    2" toytec AAL
    1/4 lean spacer
    Top plate spacer


    Any suggestions on which kit to go with? Does toytec preassemble coil/struts like headstrong does?

    I run:

    885x OME
    1/4 driver side lean spacer
    Dakars with 2nd overload removed
    OME nitro rear shocks
    OME CB drop

    my fronts were preassembled

    Would the 1.5" deaver aal be enough for the eibach+5100? Or would the 2" toytec aal be the better option? I dont think the headstrong kit comes with the top plate spacers.

    Wow, thank you guys for the compliments and loyalty, I truly appreciate it!!

    We value our customers and try to the provide the best customer service possible all while providing competitive prices and fair shipping rates.

    Yup get yourself a nice set of Light Racing UCA's if you are going over 2.5 inches of lift. As I should have, DON'T GET CAMBURGS if you are going over 2.5 inches of lift?

    I would recommend Marie from Headstrong. Great customer service! I contacted a few vendors and they made me jump through hoops to try to find out what the discount was for TW members. I don't have time for that. Called Marie she simplified the process and made it happen. I think I spent a little more than $3000.00 with her on my 2014. Not a whole lot of money, but I still have two other trucks to do.
