Toytec Boss Adjustable Coilovers (Front) Bilstein 5100's (Rear)

Typical maintainence question.

My 06 2WD SR54R came as stated, suspension lift and all. Toytec Boss Coilovers (Front) Bilstein 5100's (Rear).

My question: What type of common maintainence should I be looking for? About how long into the lift should I be worried?

I know nothing lasts forever, so I'm wondering when an adequate time to replace any bearing or joints would be, if so. I'm a bit shy of clueless, but will have an exact idea if I could just get the appointment I needed.

Twist: There's always a twist, since it came pre-installed from my dealer (the vehicle was bought at an auction) there's no current record of a time frame that it was put on. But I know it wasn't ages ago, and they were in good condition as the previous owner didn't wheel much and had it rather for looks.

ALSO if there is anything I can add to the already suspended rear because I just don't feel that 5100's do the justice. I want a little more bounce and flex.

Thanks and I hope someone can accurately answer these questions

As far as maintenance, what I would do since you just purchased the rig is this;
1) Put it up on jack stands and go thru it and check every nut and bolt and assure everything it tight. Your kit is a good entry level kit and it should give you years of trouble free operation provided you dont drive your rig like a desert racing Trophy Truck. However, with your kit, your rig will handle better than stock, and it will easily handle many trails with ease.
2) Make sure all your fluids are in top notch condition. Whenever I purchase something used, I slowly, as time permits go thru and replace every fluid with the brands I prefer. What this does is, lets me know every fluid in all components are in good working order. With used vehicles, you never know when the last service was or how detailed the services were.
3) Look thru the maintenance manual and put your vehicle in line with the mileage and go from there as far as what types of services are due and when.
4) If you plan on using your rig for towing or fast off road use, look in your manual for an additional use service plan which will have you service fluids and components a little sooner than if you were just some little ol lady putt putting to and from the market once a week. I follow the severe duty schedule I think its called. But I follow that schedule because I live in the hot deserts and I do alot of off roading and at time at faster than normal speeds.
5) In summary:
Replace all fluids with known, fresh fluids or your favorite brand or Original Equipment fluids from Toyota. Check the aftermarket chassis parts for looseness. And lastly, put your new rig on the proper maintenance plan.
6) Enjoy!:cheers:
