I suggest looking at something like Low Range Offroads website that gives you the break down of what all comes with their kits. With that particular kit, along with the Readylift and the truxxx, the ride stays the same as stock because the spacer goes on top of the strut assembly, not in it, like the toytec. Not saying the bilsteins are bad, just different and not complete if youre going to go that route, youll still need at least a differential drop with bilsteins if youre going over 2" of lift.
Ouch.. that struck me right in the ***** ... I have the Toytec 3" and ive been thinking about the damage it could be doing to my truck especially after this (AIRBORNE... Results not as anticipated but Tundra Seriously ROCKS!!!) - I understand that spacer lifts cause a decent amount of damage on the long run especially and now i regret installing them especially since the ride hight is decreasing from the front.. its not level any more im guessing due to the compression of the coil on continuous load...

I have been considering OME 612 coils on Bilstein 5100s.. What do you guys think of that setup? along with the 1" block on the rear, diff drops and spacer drops (already installed w/the Toytec)
