Front Struts

[BobLMTDT4R]

Thinking about swapping out my 882s and going with 883s for a little better of a ride, so I might as well swap out my struts to. Whats a good replacement strut that everyone is going with now? I'd like to keep my 3" lift height. I'd love to swap to coilovers but can't justify the money right now.

I am not looking to run a ARB Type bumper or winch. I might think about a tubular bumper...but thats WAY OFF in time.

Thanks
Bob

Bilstein adj. 5100s for a Tundra. Apparently the Tacomas are backordered a lot of places. Tundras will work, and you can dial in your height.

X2. This seems to be what most guys are running. Also, if you're looking to sell the 882's I will take them off your hands.

What year Tundra am I searching for? And these will fit with 4Runner 883 Springs?

@ 4ever, your 2nd on the list. I have a potential buyer right now. I'd sell the spring and strut together. They have about 5,000 mi roughly on them. Never been offroad or abused.

If you really want a good ride up front than you want to go with 881's. You would have to purchase top spacers or Steves coil sleeves (which are way better, no droop) to get your full 3"s. But if you go too 883's they will not ride much softer. I would also run ome comfort sport shocks. The ride with 881's, Steves lift sleeves and those shocks are perfect. Barely stiffer than stock but soft enough for all types of roads.

Here is what you need: Front Bilstein Height adjustable 5100 **OUT OF STOCK** - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits. And yes, they will fit with the 883 coils.

Sounds good, let me know if the first buyer falls through.

@ Jayrolla, where do I find Coil Sleeves? Anyone else heard of these, Pros/Cons?

Also what year Tundra am I searching for? There are 2 differnt part #s, 2005-2006, then 2007-2009.

05-06 tundra shocks, and you have 5 perches to adjust them too.

So I do want the TUNDRA 05-06 5100's instead of the Tacoma ones to replace and use with my ToyTec 882 springs? I need to place an order very soon. Will this still give me the 3" lift I need?

Thanks

Either will work just fine. The Tundra's have 5 settings and valved stiffer, while the Tacoma's have 3 setting and a softer valving. I'm pretty sure just the 882's will give you 3", but if not the Tundra's will be better because the second setting doesn't provide as much lift as the Tacoma 5100 second setting.
