Suspension upgrade recommendations

[Mac78610]

I am looking for recommendations on replacements for most of the front and rear suspension components. I am looking to go mid level, not cheap eBay parts and not exotic full race/off road build. I’ve had the stock suspension components for the last 100k miles and I now have 165k miles on the 2006 SR5 V6. I need to replace wheel bearings, front sway bar bushings, and inner tie rod ends. So while I am at it I am going to upgrade the UCA (upper control arms) front and rear shocks and springs to eliminate the corn fed spacer kit. Probably also the outer tie rod ends, front and rear sway bar links, and rear sway bar bushings. This is my daily driver and I also do some light off reading at the ATV parks around Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. I think I have focused in on the JBA UCA and I think I like the bilstein 6100 struts and 5100 rear. Once I get the enclosed trailer to haul our toys (quads) I will probably add a manual set of air lift helper springs in rear to keep the rig level. Let me hear the best vendors to buy from and real world experience. Right now rockauto is my vendor to buy most parts. I haven’t found a vendor who sells a complete package that I am looking for. Thank you in advance!

Wheelers Off-road has a good selection and great customer service. You also need to list a range of how much you’re willing to spend and what height if you want much help

If you're going with the bilstein 6112 in the front i would recommend going with the 5160 for the rear. Huge improvement over the 5100's and its really not that much more money for what you're getting.

I second stepping up to the 5160 rears. Not sure which springs you're going with in the rear, but I have Radflo 2" lift springs with the 5100's and they're definitely under-damped. 5160's are in my near-future to fix that.
Also, I'd add the air bags now. Installing them at the same time as the springs will be much, much easier and they're only about $100; not a huge amount, considering what you're about to spend in total.

Have you looked at the Suspension FAQ sticky at the top of the page ??
