Think I have my suspension lift pieced together.. thoughts?

[jeredcollins]

After 12 months of reading on here I've opted to go with a 2-2.5" lift. I wanted to keep geometry in tack as much as possible and plus this is my daily driver. I have 265/70R17 tires currently which is 31.1" diameter. My goal is to go with a 275/75R17 tire which comes out to 32.1" diameter. I have the 2015 TRD trail rims so I'm not sure if I'll have much of a rubbing issue. The other tire option is the 255/75R17 which is a skinnier tire.

I plan on adding an ARB or similar bumper, with winch, as well.

My other goal is to NOT have to change out the UCA's. I just honestly don't think I have the ability to do that part nor do I want to spend that much money. I wanted to get the LC 8 Wraps but I'm tired of not being able to find them and I don't want to a thesis on the color dots and figuring out which one I need.

Front:
OME 881 Springs Set $167.20 (Wheeler's Offroad)
Tundra Shocks x2 P# 24-261425 $229.00 (Wheeler's Offroad)
Strut Assembly $94.96 (Wheeler's Offroad) Comes w/ top plates, stem cushions and washers

Rear:
OME 890 $167.20 (Wheeler's Offroad)
Bilstein 4Runner 1.5-3" shock x2 $170.00 (Wheeler's Offroad)

Misc:
Panhard Bar Weldable Drop Bracket (Toytec) $49.97
Sonoran Steel Adjustable Panhard Bar $199.99
Sonoran Steel Diff Drop $52.20
Sonoran Steel Parking Brake Bracket $20

Total Suspension Cost: $1,150.52 w/o shipping

If I go with the SS 1.2 kit with optional rear Bilstein's and front strut assembly that comes out to $1703.00 and I still need to buy drop bracket from Toytec. The difference between the two kits is roughly $600. Is the TRD progressive springs and the LC 8 wraps in the rear worth the $600 compared to OME 881 and OME 890 springs?

Am I missing anything else for the suspension?

You don't need an adjustable panhard bar if you're installing a panhard drop bracket. You actually don't "need" either if you're okay with your axle being shifted 1/4" to the right.

So the adjustable Panhard bar was designed to not to be used with the drop bracket(s). Seems like I’ve seen build threads showing people using both. I swear it feels like there is a million variables that goes into these builds. I’m aboht to hire a consultant to guide me through my build lol

You don’t need “strut assembly”, check out the thread in my sig if you’d like to see a few other options.

Nice write up. Based off your analysis I should go with something close to the budget crawler to get the size tires I want to fit.
