New Coilover Options

I was searching for coilover options for my Tundra. I have been thinking about an OME 2.5" coilover lift. They will work really well if I go with a new steel bumper and winch. These are what a lot of Jeep guys use for their suspension lifts. Good for a budget suspension lift. Also one of the few options if you want a good lift and are adding a couple hundred pounds worth of bumper and winch in the front.

I also came across a few more options that might work for some other people. One option is to use an adjustable Bilstein 5100 shock and the stock coil. It says it will do from 0" to 2.5" of lift. All I have found is that on gen 1 Tundras, it says the 5100 will only do up to 1.5" of lift on the Double Cab. So that might not be good for my CM. Might have to contact Bilstein to see what they say. They also have rear non-adjustable 5100 shocks for a stock height or up to 1" lift in the rear.

Skyjacker has a 2-3" adjustable coilover and rear block kit. Not too bad for the price if the shock can be rebuilt like the more expensive ones. I like that it's up to 3 inch instead of the 2.5" like a lot of the other coilovers.

Skyjacker also has a 3" strut lift for a cheaper price. Similar to the Bilstein, this uses a new strut and the stock coil. Also comes with rear blocks.

Fox Racing has 0-3" adjustable front coilovers and rear shocks, both with external reservoirs. They cost more than others like the SAWs or Icons, but I am going to bet these will hold up to more punishment with a smoother ride. Course all these are going to be rebuildable for that price.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.......

That Titan sure does look familiar!

Hoolie is that you, LOL!

Tox, BELCH is correct, prg (aka pre runner greg) has been making some very fine suspension products for the Titan for many years and he is now working on stuff for the Tundra. His customers have been singing his praises for quality parts and good customer service for the past few years.

SQUID and ThirdHoreseman can elaborate more on this subject!

Anyone know greg? We could use some group pricing. I may have to skip the new bumper and get the re-valved SAWs from him.

hey i really like this website, lots of useful information. i am new at this and after reading up on the information had a question about the 5100 Bilstein shocks. just by installing these do you get a 1-2" lift or do you need other spacers or lift?? and if i want an affordable way to get a mild lift, is this a good idea??

This is all Wheeler's had from Bilstein on them a month ago:

"The 5100 Series front Pre-Load Adjustable struts and matching rear shocks
for the 2007/2008 two and four wheel drive Tundra trucks are due in any day.
I anticipate to begin shipping early to mid-next week. These are the 5100
series units and the front struts have multiple snap ring groves that will
allow you to set ride height from stock, to 2.5" of front lift. The rear
will work on stock to 1" rear ride heights and both units are silver
finished and coated. Parts will be here before the marketing materials are
completed, however I ask you to get these part numbers and pricing into your
system. Let me know if you have any questions."

Apparently, you use the stock coils and these adjustable shocks to get the ride height you want. Only the fronts are adjustable, the rear are not.

The OME coils only fit the OME shocks. They will not work with the Bilstein shocks.
