    I got a set of eibach leveling struts from toytec for my 2017 tundra, they call them coilovers but there is no preload adjustment on them. They were a very good value for about $700 shipped and I installed them myself. They lifted the front about 2.5 inches and I haven't had any issues in 30k miles even with hauling a dirtbike on the front hitch setup.

    Excellent sensible advice.
    And that Tinkerer’s tire vid is fantastic. I was a skinny tire guy before watching his vid.
    Did you buy your 5100’s assembled with the OME’s and if so- from who?
    I can’t do it myself in my living situation.
    Additionally- years ago I had custom leaf springs from AlCan - who should I buy from for Tacoma.
    Thank you sir👍

      Tacomas should have options from Deaver, Icon, Toytec, General Spring…. Lots of options for full packs or Add A leafs. I don’t really like my Icon AAL. Alcan should still offer leafs for the tacoma too.

Going to throw on the 5100s as well with a 1.5 or 2 inch lift. I want to be able to make it over mountain passes in blizzards and some mild overlanding. Which do you think I should get?

      I don’t think you could really go wrong with either. I’d just make sure to get a good load rating for the camper and then pick based on getting the best compound and tread pattern for your intended use. Should fit fine on the truck and not need much trimming!

    I just got a brand new set of 17" pull-offs, the 2022 4Runner Trail wheels for $200 (for all 4). They are 7 spoke and in the past I've never liked 7 spoke wheels for some reason, especially because our trucks are 6 lug, but I just love the look of them and the fact that the spokes are a bit recessed into wheel. The offset I believe is +15mm. I plan to do a 2" lift with 5100s and new springs but am not sure what springs to go with. I'd also spring for the JBA UCA's but given some of your videos it sounds like I'll be ok without them. What springs would you recommend??

      Not necessarily. Check out a website like suspensionlifts.com or firstgenoffroad. They lost lift heights and weights for common aftermarket springs if you browse their sites.

    Do you think a lift is required for a 235/85R16 tire? Currently running with 265/75R16 for my summer tires and 265/70R17 for winter with no issues. I’m going to have to replace my R16 tires next year. Running stock suspension.

    • @208Tyler
      @208Tyler  Před 9 měsíci +1

      No. Like I explain in the video, a suspension lift with a coilover won’t even really affect tire fitment if you’re taking it Offroad and flexing it out.
      Mine fit great and don’t rub anywhere, even offroading.
