yeah they are a bit pricy, but i'd rather pay a bit more for a better ride. i believe i can get them through my familys shop at a discounted price too, which wouldnt be bad either.
 
And those 9 wraps are going to be really tall. You'll either need to get the adjustable struts up front. or add a spacer unless you want a lot of rake.
 
Nah, 2" would be way too much. In the front, don't know why, the lift accomplished is double whats installed. So a 1" spacer will net 2" of lift, and so on. You could use something like this...
Front Top Plate Spacer Kit - 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

or this...

which one to use would depend on how much height you get from those 9 wraps
 
Unless you are going to have a lot of weight in the back all the time, I would go for 8wrap springs for the rear. (That is what I am after at the moment)
Don't forget the Diff drop and rear brake line kit, and to add vent tube extensions for your diffs.

Good Luck
 
well we have a couple boats that i end up towing around during the summer/ plus towing boat around at the shop, would the 9 wraps be okay with towing? or too much?

the rear brake line kit and vent tube extensions, where is the best place to get?
 
If you are going to be towing, I'd go with the OME 890s. They give 3" of lift, will handle a boat/trailer nicely, and will match up with the front better. LC springs give a little more lift, but sag under load a lot more. Plus you won't need to do the extended brake line, or a diff drop. This is what I plan on doing, and it'll be similar to what you are planning.

Just good "rear diff breather mod" for all the info...parts are cheap and its easy to do.
 
i found a good setup on toytec for the rear OME shocks and OME 890 coils for ~$370 shipping included. So i am not set on the rear. thats what i will be getting.
Now back to the front, with the 890s i wouldnt need the spacers anymore?

Ok so those coils and struts are not going to give you the lift you are looking for. You need the TRD specific Tundra coils, not just any Tundra coil. That set up will likely yield you .5" of lift. Plus it is about the same price you would pay for a Tundra TRD/5100 set up.

I wouldn't necessarily buy the moog version of the LC coils. They should work, but it would be a gamble and you can get a set of cheaper LC coils used.

In regards to towing, it will depend on how heavy the boats are. LC coils aren't ideal for towing as they sag a lot and have a soft, floating feeling. 890's would be better, but will limit you to 3".

No need for a brake line relocation or tube extension. A diff drop is a good idea if you are lifting near 3" up front.
 
Where is a place to get the TRD coils? im not yeilding any good results. And with the rear, i've decided to go with the OMEs instead, because of the towing
 
You can get them new from the dealer or online dealers.
Left Coil Part Number: 48131-AF100
Right Coil Part Number: 48131-AF090
Bilstein 5100 Tundra shocks (5 adjustable spring perches; set on 2nd perch from bottom) - Front Shock Part #: BE5-6929-H0

Or find the coils used. You will want the y/y y/b marking on them.
 
Found em, there ~$500 depending on where i get the shocks.

All together im looking at ~$800. is it all worth it, or am i better of with a complete life kit?
