    Greeting Fellow Yota Brethren,

    I come in search of wisdom, knowledge, and all things Yota.
    Okay but on a serious note, just recently bought this 04 TRD Double Cab 4x4 beauty and am looking at getting all suspension parts dialed for my use.
    My goal is to build the truck for moderate off-road use, haul two dirt bikes, and preferably have Roof Rack tent. It wouldn’t be a daily since I have another vehicle for that but would like a decent drive on the road.

    As of now I have decided to go with Bilsteins 6112’s and 5160’s but would appreciate input related to what coil springs to consider, upper/ lower control arms, wheels, and rear leaf spring options. If I am missing anything else feel free to say what.

    Before and after images will be included

    Honestly, what I did was go to wheeler's offroad and build the shock/springs there. They have a little menu there that they let you use to select which shock you want and then they give you the compatible options.

    Btw. I got 5100 and eibach coils on mines. Seems like the pretty standard stuff. The ones you optioned look like they'd be good too

    I ran the 5160, 6112 kit on my old tundra and really liked it. Make sure you get the diff drop kit with it. Tons of options for everything else you're after, just depends how much you want to spend.
