Background/intro, First post, a little long
I've lurked, read, searched and not found an answer for my truck. The suspension has sagged to the point that I can barely clear 265/75/16s, front and rear. Cornering is interesting, potholes and washboards are scary. The truck only has 36600 miles on it.
Truck is stock with an ARE cap (200 lbs) with a minimum of 50lbs of tools and gear at all times. Daily driver, road trips, light off-road use, no rock crawling. I haul 12+ cords a wood a year (trailer), half to one cord at a time plus saws and related gear over really bad roads, 4-low mandatory. Platform bed put in when needed (spring skiing etc.). Local and not so local shops just try to sell me a lift.
Looking to clear 265/75's or 235/85's
ARB with warn winch down the road.
Alcan will probably be used in the back, built for the weight, they are not that far from me.
Trying to achieve no lift or as little as possible, I don't want a another lifted vehicle, been there done that!
OME parts in front may be more lift than looking for.
Coilovers, probably not, corrosion from mag chloride, salt, 8 months of winter, cost etc.
So, would Bilstein 5100 adjustables or OME shocks with Eibach or King coils in factory length rated at factory plus bumper and winch and maybe a little extra actual work?
Does anyone know the inside diameter, factory length, and weight rating of stock coils, Toyota gave me the run around and mine are no longer factory anything?
