Need help ordering ToyTec BOSS Lift

[Raised By GTA]

So, I've look around for the lift I want and have decided to go with the ToyTec BOSS lift. I've looked through numerous other threads about lifts and there's just so many and most of them are outdated(they don't sell the same shock or coils) that I was unable to find the answers I'm looking for.

I currently have plans to buy a rear tire carrier for my 2001 SR5, probably the CBI Off-road, as well as a heavy duty front bumper from Shrockworks. I most likely won't have them until late next year. The rear tire carrier will come first then, later in the year, the front bumper.

My questions are:
If I get the heavy duty front coilover(650 lb/in Eibach), coils(OME 891) and shocks(Bilstein 5125) will the ride be really rough without the extra weight? And if so, will the ride get better as I add the bumpers?

If I go with the lighter coilover(600 lb/in Eibach), rear coils(OME 890), and shocks(Pro Comp 9000 Series) will the truck sag when I add the bumpers?

yes to both your questions.
ive got a tube bumper upfront so thats a little weight and i just crank the coils up for more lift. im running the 600lb springs.
you could always start with 600lb coils and when you get the bumper crank them up to get the lift back but if you still dont like it you can upgrade pretty cheep to 650s.
but let see what others say.

Alright, looks like I'll have to go with the heavier package and just have to deal with the stiff ride until I get the bumpers.

Concerning the FRONT
The ride won't be terrible without the extra weight of the bumpers, but it won't be as nice as with the 600lb springs.

That said, upgrading your springs later on (something I am about to do, actually checking out from Wheelers right now...) isn't really CHEAP. The springs are about $100 each ($120 each for mine), plus shipping, plus installation (which you can/should do yourself of course...), plus an alignment, etc etc.

My advice would be to run the 650lb springs up front with less preload and be happy in the long run.

Concerning the REAR

I would recommend buying some used land cruiser coils. They're cheap, flex well, ride well, but don't carry much weight. If/when you get the bigger bumper upgrade to some OME 861's and love your life.
