    I did a search but was unable to find any threads or too many reviews on these, so looking to see your thoughts on it.

    Truck is a 2004 DC TRD, 4X4. Will be adding an ARB bumper shortly after and BudBuilt front and mid skid. I think entry level coilovers are a great solution to my needs and may offer more adjustment over the standard shock/spring combo. Truck is used for mostly daily commute, moderate offroading and minimal hauling/towing. All Pro suggests the 650lb springs with the ARB up front.

    While it does not include UCAs, I am not after maximum lift, but will grab them at some point. I am sure there will be a Christmas/New Year sale shortly. Or if you have better options, I am open to hear them.

    I bought the fox 600lb coilovers when I bought my kit from all pro but I went with the complete kit and got ucas too. I had a tube steel bumper with a winch so probably not as heavy as your arb steel plate bumper will be though.

    I says "0-3" of lift, but that's really only for the front, lol. The rear has a set lift. Set the fronts so the truck is level, or whatever stance you like (bro-lean or stinkbug)

    How far in the future do plan on getting the bumper and skids? If it'll be a while, you might regret the heavier spring.

    In a pinch, you can always just crank up the pre-load on the coilovers when you get your bumper/skids to re-level it. I'm doing that with my King coilovers. I started with a stock bumper and no skids, but after my bumper, winch and skids, I'll need to crank it up a little (I had actually lowered them from the factory setting since I only have an inch of lift in the back).

    I'm familiar with how suspension works lol. I will be avoiding the Carolina squat like it's the plague.

    I already have the skid and the bumper should be here next week, so they'll all go on over Christmas vacation.
