Hey guys,
So here is another thread asking for help with a lift kit for my truck. I have definitely done my research, I also had a 2017 SR5 with 5100s and a block in the back before but I am purchasing a 2022 TRD Sport in a few weeks and want to lift it again but possibly go a different route this time. On my 17 the ride was super stiff, everything rattled, and when i came to a stop i would always hear/feel a bump in the back so I don't want to deal with those things again if i don't have to.
This is my situation: I am not an "offroader" per say. I am a daily highway driver to and from work, I do some beach trips in the summer where I take my truck on the beach, I go hunting and take my truck in the woods through trails a few times a year and maybe a handful of other times, some friends and myself hit some offroad trails in New Jersey but nothing extreme at all. So with that being said, I don't need or want anything extreme or super expensive. The lift is more for the look but obviously I want it to do its job when it comes down to it.
I was thinking a 2-2.5"(MAX) in lift and I will be running 265/70R17's on it as well.
The first kit I had seen is the Eibach 2.5" Pro Truck Lift kit and it comes with both front and rear shocks and coils as well. I can't find too much on this as far as how you adjust them, etc.
The second option was going the Bilstein 5100's again for both front and rear, OME 887 Coils, a front .5" strut spacer, 1-1.5" block in the rear or possibly a 1.5" AAL
Thirdly, I could go with what I did on my 2017 and just do Bilstein 5100's all around on the 3rd clip using stock coils and a 1" block in the rear. (wasnt a big fan of this because whenever i stopped i would hear a "clunk" in my rear and also when i would go over big bumps there would be a crazy vibration in the front)
Lastly, i'm completely open to other ideas. As previously mentioned, I don't need anything hardcore, just something that will lift the truck a bit, let me run the 265/70's without any issues and also try to keep a decent ride since I am on the highway frequently.
I am not trying to spend more than lets say $1,000 or so total if that is even possible? I am also not trying to replace my UCA's.
Sorry again guys for probably the millionth thread on this topic but thats why I am here, to get suggestions and feedback from others.
