    Well from my understanding the LT kits rattle a lot of the truck apart and you constantly have to check torque specs. And I believe Toyota knows about it.

    It says 2005-2016 lift. The 2016 sits 1" higher than the 2015 so that would be a 2" lift. What kind of tires are you running?

    Its a coilover so it is adjustable up and down. I just put them on with no adjustments and it looks perfect. my tires are 285/70/17 toyo R/T they have a diameter on 33" according to their website.

    Do you know who makes the front coil overs?

    Dude just call Toyota and see if LT will void warranty. If not, go LT. Buy once, cry once. No need to buy a whole new suspension just to buy a better one later on. Wish someone would have told me that before I got my kit.

    They put them together themselves. They use bilstein 5100 shocks for the front.

    Oh ok. I might give that a shot. Hell for that price for front and rear shocks why not? Have you had any issues? Have you tested it out off road yet?

    Its a attractive price. I originally was going to just do a spacer but decided not to this time around. no issues was a easy and quick install took about 5 hours with basic garage tools. They include the diff drop and sway bar spacers too. I have only been out in the sand which its pretty comfortable. I didn't have the trd suspension so mine was pretty soft to begin with. Very happy with it overall.

    Also here is where I found all my info on the lift.
