Deteriorating ride: Tundra TRD Coils/Bilstein HDs

[jrm]

Ive had my used Tundra TRD coil/Bilstein HD set up for around 3 months. Over this time most of my driving has been in town, but when i have driven @ fwy speeds (65-70) the overall ride of the set up deteriorates. The truck has 125,XXX miles on it. I have 906s w/ 10mm trim packs and bilstein HDs in back. Theres no fluid coming from the struts and the front end appears level. The bushings look good.

The trucks front end just doesnt feel grounded it floats and rolls a bit. The front end doesnt dive under braking then it did before installing this set up and side roll seems normal. The alignment is current and there seems to be a little bit of vibration @ fwy speeds also. i bought the set up from a yard in Wyoming and don't know how many miles the Tundra TRD coil/Bilsteins had on um.

So my question is can i replace the struts or coils and get the ride to improve w/o replacing everything? Thanks

Get yourself some new shocks. I've got a set of junkyard TRD's but haven't had a chance to run on the street. They weren't leaking or anything but had about 80k miles on them. I plan to upgrade to 5100's before too long if I can't stand the ride of the stock Bilsteins.

x 2. Ditch those Tundra Billies. They are not a good fit for our rides. I tried them out with only 45k and wasn't happy. Ended up with the 5100s in front and should have just gone to those to start. Hit up Steeve or SnowRunner at Toytec, they'll take care of you.

Ok

replacing the HDs w/ 5100s and keeping the coils. Thanks for the input:bluejump:

Does the front end feel really bouncy?

Coils and shocks are never the direct cause it a high speed vibration if thats your biggest issue. High speed vibrations are caused by a spinning part, such as the wheels, cv's, axel or u joints. Did you first notice the vibration after installing the tundra lift?
