**Rickashay's OME vs. TRD Tundra/LC Review**

Bilstein/OME Lift Level Kit

After spending hours reading I haven't found an answer yet. I've got 97 4runner that I plan to lift using TRD front and LC rear. After doing some searching I found a lift/level kit for a 00-06 Tundra with Bilstein 5100s and OME front coils. There are 4 coil options to chose from: 2884, 2885, 2887, and 2888. The 2884 is recommended for 2" no load/stock weight front end Access Cab. My question I guess is will this setup work on the 4runner? Doing it this way I can kill 2 or 3 birds with 1 stone. The link for what I'm looking at is Bilstein/OME Lift Level Kit

That will very likely give you too much lift even on the lowest shock perch. If you aren't going to use the TRD Tundra front progressive coils then why not get a 600 lb/in eibach spring to go with the tundra shocks?

Edit: You'll also need to change the rear shock bushings if you go with tundra rear shocks. The axle side is a different size mounting hole in the bushing.

Thanks for your answer Bad Luck. That is what thinking but just wanted someone else's input as well. I've been looking at the ToyTec front lift coils. These should do the same job as the Eibach shouldn't they? I'm going to be adding a Coastal bumper with a winch at the same time I do the lift. Just want to make sure whatever I do can carry the extra weight.

I'm not sure what spring rate the toytec coil springs are, but with an offroad front bumper and winch I would make sure they are at least 600 lb/in springs. If you have skid plates I'd probably lean more towards a 650 lb/in spring in the front.
