What makes you think you will get 3" of lift from the Tundra coils?

Tunrda coils give a 4WD vehicle 1.5" of lift. Add a top out spacer for an extra 1/2". For a grand total of 2".

The high point of the OME shocks is the huge piston shafts they have. The Ranchos are OK, but have the very small stock like shafts and the rear shocks are not as long = less travel.

Why? The Tundra coils are a proven solution..proven to work BETTER than the OME coils. You can add 2 top spacers to each side of the front, and you'll get 2.5" of lift. The ride will be awesome, and with OME shocks, it'll flex to the physical limits of the suspension. What else can you ask for?

This is a no brainer. Read the million page thread, this setup works. So do other routes, but this seems to be THE ideal DD setup.

No. Read the threads on the setup. The spacers go outside of the assembly, with the longer studs. Buy the spacers from Andy (Bamachem).

Your not ready for a lift. You need to understand what you are doing more.

we all have to start somewhere.

however, you have a ton of info at your fingertips. do a couple of searches and read all you can, then go back and read them again. you need to absorb the info and learn what's going on. when that's all said and done, then you can ask INFORMED QUESTIONS and get relevant answers. been there, done that. OME works. TUNDRA TRD works BETTER
