For me, I'm currently running 4x4 Tundra TRD coils with 2 top out spacers, and Bilstein HD's. I love it. I've tried stock, OME 882's, and also Sway-A-Way Coilovers. The Tundra coils trump them all!

Camburg 2.5 coilvers.

love em.

I called ARB, and they said they used the same trimpacker as the FZJ80, which is a different diameter than our rear coils.

Them shackle hangers must have added quite a bit of weight



For my set-up I just went the big $BLING$ route and eventually will add bypass shocks as well....... more BLING

You felt the bumper / winch combo when we remounted the thing. Pretty darn heavy. The hangers gotta be about another 10# with the shackles on them...Nice now!

Also, Bruce, saying you went big $bling$ is an understatement once you factor the steering, the total chaos arms, the fenders, the paint...

As a "wheeler on a budget" (per my wife's subtle threats of napalm death if I spend too much money...) I opted for an E-Z lift: www.extremetrucktoys.com, which is spacers and Fabtech AAL's. I have run a couple of other setups on other Toy's I have owned, and you know, this isn't too bad if you don't have lots of $$$...

Im using stock coils and OME shocks with my TM kit and I like it more than the OME coils I had before

I want coil-overs though soon.

I'm doing the Tundra TRD coil with OME shocks. Great ride, and with the Revtek spacer I'm getting 2.75 with an ARB and M8000. I'm also running a diffdrop. So far so good.
