Junk. The reviews on that kit on here and everywhere are that the springs have such a high rating that you feel every bump and little road imperfection in your spine.

 

Haha I know im trying to be patient but I want my truck to look a bit tougher

 

Go to the toytec website and get either the 5100 kit (P/N: BK0510) or the OME kit (OME-TAK).

Here's a discount code 112710
5-10% can't remember exactly.

Anything higher than 2.5" lift up front I highly recommend new UCA's as well. Just go with Light Racing, they're cheap and will work fine.

If you don't have the funds for 1 of those right now, i suggest you wait until you do. Don't waste money on something now, that you will regret later. It'll be worth it in the end.

Do it right the 1st time.

Also, did you shop around the FS forums? Theres always somebody on here looking to sell the 5100's or OME kit after they've ungraded themselves.

 

Great thanks ! I'll
Check the sale forums

 

Ok so I found someone wanting to sell me some used Bilstien 5100 Adjustable shocks and Toytec Coils for a 2.5" lift and 1" spacer to make it 3". 10K Miles on them and he'4s asking 300.00 Keep in mind I would still need the rear leaf lift. Would this be a good deal? Thanks

 

Not sure if it's a good idea to put a spacer on top of the lifted coil already or not. I've been thinking of kinda doing the same on a Rancho quicklift, I want to add a 1/4 or 1/2 inch spacer on top of the coil/strut assembly, buy not sure if it might mess with the angles of everything

 

I ordered this kit.

I was told to leave the front on zero or first setting and it will align fine.

I'll add the UCAs later and get more lift if I want it.

I have a nearly new set of tires on so it will be awhile before I am adding bigger tires, Even then I'll go with 265s, I doubt I ever go up to a 285. I just want a better stance more than anything.

 

Remember to do an alignment after you lift. Factor that into the cost.

Personally, on an '08 I'd go with all new leaf packs rather than just tossing an AAL on your 7-year-old ones (assuming they are original). General HDs or Wheeler's (Alcan) HDs aren't awfully expensive and would give you what you're looking for as far as height goes. Reasoning is the OEM leaf packs tend to rust and break and that solves that from potentially happening on you down the road.

I have General HDs, Bilstein 5100s on all four corners, and OME 884 coils up front. Counting the alignment and having Wheeler's install the coils onto the shocks so I didn't have to deal with a spring compressor, I was in the $1000 ballpark.

 

Installed an AAL on my 2013 with only 5000 miles and the ride was horrible (worse than full Dakars w/ the

$82 D29XL Leaf Spring

D29XL aal unloaded) and the rear started to bro lean after 3000 miles. As stated above a progressive AAL would be a better/cost effective option. But without a doubt, replacing the pack completely is the best option.

 

Didn't read everything so this is probably a repost but wait a little longer to save and buy this;

And DO NOT do the diff drop.

 

Yep I think that's the one I put on my wish list when spring hits.
