Second thing that is if he is going with a Toyota I can tell you for a fact that Zone and BDS are not the industry standard for quality or performance (they may be for Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and since I currently own none of the 3 listed I can't speak to the quality on that). What I can tell you is on the Toyota side of it after looking at their websites they offer nice shocks (not MFG by them) with a drop bracket for the front, essentially not increasing ground clearance at all in the front diff area, this is a weak point in most IFS systems, some Ubolts and shackles for the rear. For a Toyota the top of the line for quality and performance when talking about a FJ or Tacoma (mind you again not full sized) would be Icon Vehicle Dynamics, Total Chaos Fabrication, and Camburg (these are the big 3 for the actual tubular suspension components), now shocks again would be Icon, King, Fox, Sway a way, King being in my personal opinion the best quality.
Thanks for the add on. I looked on Zone's site and they make a 5" suspension lift kit for tundra. I do know absolutely that BDS and Zone are renowned as the top of the line for Ram, Ford, Chevy and GMC. Maybe there's a technical issue with tundra that precludes Zone from having a good fitment?
