    I've currently got a '11 Tundra with Icon coils/shocks and am gonna make a switch to a supercharged Taco next year. What are the thoughts on what coils/shocks to run? Being new to the Taco world I'd like to get some input from you guys! I know they're all great companies and in the Tundra world they all have a good name.

    What's the issue with SAW components on the Taco? I guess I've not heard of any problems before (at least on the Tundra).

    You could go for the SAW 2.5 c/o and some Bilstein 5100 rears. Camburg has a 2.5 shock that we designed with SAW to compliment our uniball UCA providing more usable wheel travel. With the Camburg uniball UCA and 2.5 c/o you will gain 10 in. of wheel travel. :)
