    I just recently bought this 2002 SR5 4x4 and I'm wanting to beef up the suspension. This will be my daily driver and also my hunting/off-road playing vehicle. It has 265 75 16's on it right now. I don't want to go too extreme but I definitely want good equipment on my truck. Ill be driving down rough roads, trails, and creek beds probably 50% of the time. looking to lift my truck 3" and run 33's...Thanks ahead of time!

    Here is a list of what I have in mind:

    Front bumper w/ warn winch
    Back bumper
    Rock sliders
    285 75 16's

    I'm not sure what is the best suspension for what I'm wanting to do with the truck. Hopefully y'all can chime in and help me out in deciding what's best!

    Here are a couple pictures of how the truck looks right now!

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    OME 883's with top plate if you want to run a winch and front HD bumpers with a set of OME Nitros. In the rear you can do the OME Dakars with rear OME Nitros.

    If you trim some and have the correct back spaced wheel you can tuck 33's.

    Another option is Eibach coils with Bilstein 5100's and Dakars.

    okay you want my help? you can't run 33" tires on a 3" lift without trimming, end of story.

    I'm thinking the OME package from toytec.com 883 coil with the OME Dakar rear springs!
