    3/2 lift, TRD Pro wheels, 275/70/17 KO2's
    I am picking up my new TRD OR AC in a couple of days and had planned to install a 3/2 readylift spacer lift. I already have the spacer lift and won't be doing any offroading until the summer. I plan to upgrade to a proper suspension lift in the summer as well as add a new bumper. Now... I'm thinking that if I just go ahead and do the proper suspension lift now I won't have to do the lift twice.

    My questions:
    If I install the OME kit with the 90000 front shocks (for added weight) and the 886 coils, will that be a horrible ride until I add the bumper? Or would it be better to wait until I get the bumper?
    Will 885 coils be better for an access cab?

    I'd like to get as close to 3" lift in the front as possible and want a good ride as a daily driver while being moderate-offroad capable.

    Any help is appreciated!

    And... please save your "Spacer Lifts Suck / Why put hockey pucks on a $30,000+ vehicle" comments - I know, but I already have it and it would be temporary.

    Don't upgrade the coils 150 lbs is nothing on the front of our trucks 3rd gen or not if you put heavy duty coils on it that's for the crazy plate winch bumpers

    Guess I should have mentioned I will be adding bumper and a winch. I'm waiting on some options to be available, but I'm guessing around 150 lbs for the bumper plus the winch.

    Depends on who you go through and what kind of bumper but your looking at about 200 pounds make sure you know exactly what bumper you plan on getting before buying your lift so you can plan accordingly

    Thanks. That is what I was kind of thinking. I was just trying to avoid lifting twice, but not a big deal.

    No waste of money - I'd do the install myself and already have the lift. As for hating it... maybe?

    Well if you already have it and plan on doing it yourself and don't mind a rough ride I say go for it I was just speaking from experience and assuming you didn't have the lift yet
