    A small handful of select mods.
    This is a bad idea! Mixing OME springs with Bilstein shocks? Neither OME nor Bilstein have listed a lift for the 2016 Tacoma. You buy any sort of set up like that and ARB/OME will not warranty it nor will Bilstein. Toytec is the only Company at the moment that has done the proper R&D on a 2016 and therefore offers the correct coilovers for the new trucks.

    Thats pretty much the reason why i went this route. I read all the posts about the OME setup and Bilstein setup and ordered the OME kit, but changed the order before it processed. Just didn't want to run into any issues down the road.

    What size tire are you guys running with the Boss kit? Same kit I am looking at doing but wanted to stick with a C rated KO2 which is only offered in 265. Wanted to know if it would look to small compared to a 275 in the E rating.

    Dont go OME up front, its nothing special and will clunk all the time due to the little down-travel you will have. I ran fox 2.0 after OME, for the bit of extra money it was well worth it!

    I went with a 285 nitto g2, the smallest I would say a 275 and it should look good. Or you could always do a test fit before u buy.
