    thanks buddy!!

    Pelfreybilt front bumper is aluminum version at 58lbs its awesome!! it was hit by a co worker and he did $3500 in damages and i bought a can of spray paint and took care of the scratches ha ha ha

    I have added some weight up front on that bumper, 70-80lbs for my winch but no where near as heavy as steel. Ive also got 650lb springs on my current BOSS kit. Ill have to verify that in the morning and see that they aren't 600lb

    that is the toytec lift kit I'm running. Ive upgraded from the 5100 kit with the eibach coils and couldn't be happier. The BOSS kit rides much smoother on and off road and has served me very well. I just upgraded to Dakar rear leaf packs but had good ride height with the Deaver toytec AAL for 4 years. Ill shoot ya a PM if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Cheers buddy!!

    On toytec site I'm looking to upgrade my fronts only at the moment as I'm pretty satisfied with the rear set up. Toytec 2.5 are the same cost as Extended travel Icons at I believe $1200..:notsure:.

    The 2.5's are on par with ICON. They are extended travel, AL body and so on. The only real difference is that ICON is digressive and the Toytec's are progressive.

    So similar to fox than. Not looking for resi's though. Not sure if that changes things or not. Haven't gotten a chance to talk to anyone from toytec but I'm leaning that way as of today. The adjustable 5100 are really irritating me as of late. Thread body seized up after one winter. Tried to jack them up to accommodate 295's and could only get them up 1.75. Called toytec and the response was buy new thread bodies. Like wtf had them on for 13 months

    Plus ride is super harsh imo especially beach runs

    you could try and PB blast the threads maybe? the salt on the east coast is harsh on components. I noticed a big difference coming from the 5100 eibach coilover kit to the BOSS 2.0 so if you go BOSS 2.5's you will most likely notice a big difference in ride quality.

    So unfortunately you live on the east coast. The stuff they put on the roads in the winter will destroy ANY metal no matter what it is. Fluid Film should be your everyday friend back there.
