The Toytec coil overs are they the GB one?
ToyTec adjustable Coilovers Group buy - NEW!

There seems to be some concern with the sway bar when running at 0 or stock height.
I've got these on my rig and they are adjusted to just level the truck (I've also got "issues" with my garage!) and I don't have any rubbing on the sway bar. They are a great product and I do like the ride better both on-road and off-road. These are a buy! IMO

Re: Suspension advice for my build. Now and down the road mod.

So with the coilovers. When adjustment is made, they are only for the front. Now my point of contact is the middle of the vehicle and middle of the rack. How is this going to affect the point of contact with adjustment of the coils? The middle of the vehicle should be at the pretty much the same height correct?
As of right now stock spring with TRD shock it is hitting the middle of the rack. The wheel rear clearance is higher than the front. So If I went with 883 with driver side compensater spacer (to fix the lean). This will give the front the same wheel clearance height as the rear. But at the same time lifting the front height of the vehicle 2.5 inches. The middle should be about the same height.
So even going with front adjustable coil over the problem should still be there am I correct?

OME895 Mediums. as for the clearance issue, any lift of the fromt will bring the rig up higher. your point of contact will still be about mid roof though.

Re: Suspension advice for my build. Now and down the road mod.

I just realized you said REAR, sorry, delete all my responses from your mind. lol The OME895 will lift the rear about an inch so I'd stay clear of them. If you just want a better ride with no lift, change out your rear shocks to some nicer ones and leave the springs.

Re: Suspension advice for my build. Now and down the road mod.

Contacted Toytech for some advice.
I am going with 883 and TP14 for now.
When I get the Warn rear bumper they recomended
going Air Bags

Have any of you used Air Lift Products?

OME suspension and air lift bags

Simple Towing Suspension Mod (Air Springs)

What do you think?
I am not trailering anything just need to compensate for the Warn rear bumper weight.
