2018 DCSB TRD-OR Build Specs

Hi folks,

After reading allot of great threads on here i've put together the following order for my 2018 6 speed DCSB TRD off road, to be delivered end of this month and would like some feedback. I use this truck to go camping with the girlfriend, hauling raft trailer and riding dirt bikes on the weekends. The commuter is a yaris. I want to upgrade the suspension and tires to handle washboard and notorious sharp Idaho shale; I am not looking for a lifted look.

-265/70-16 Toyo ATII or BFG Ko2
-CBI T3 full wrap aluminum bumper w. warn synthetic vr8000 (approx. weight 150-200 lbs)
-Bilstein 6112 kit up front
-Bilstein 5160 rear
-East coast gear supply CV bushing

Questions:

-Differential drop needed?

-Settings for the bilsteins up front?

-I am only looking for a small 0.5-1.5" lift up front. Assuming I can obtain this goal is the firestone air bag kit an option for the 3rd gen trucks? I ask because when i have 2 450's in the bed and one on the hitch rack i get allot of rake and the truck (at least my old one) liked to buck around. The other option would be an add a leaf/deaver/dakar kit.

-I have run steel ARB's in the past; would like to support a USA product.

Thank you in advance for the advice.

 

Pretty sure a diff drop is not needed for that small of a lift. I'm lifted 1.5-1.75" and have no issues. Also, depending on the coils that come withe 6112s, you may need to look at upgrading those due to the added 200lbs~ from the bumper. Again, I don't know anything about the 6112s so they may be fine, just something to think about when adding a lot of weight to the front of the truck.
