I am so happy with the results! This is the way the Tundra should have come from the factory. For those who are unhappy with ride comfort, these are an absolute MUST! |
I have a similar minipak but from a different manufacturer. General Springs from Kansas made some tester mini-paks for $100 back last year and I volunteered to try it on my RCSB. Big difference in ride quality. The height increased an inch and according to General Springs, the truck have lost 500 pounds in payload capacity. You can compensate by installing air bags, that is if you haul or tow really heavy. Washboard roads feels smoother, no jitters, backslaps. General Springs is also a forum member under name of generalspring. But I haven't heard from him for a long time now. Mod can be done in the garage or driveway, uses stock u-bolts, works with TRD sway bar.
For DC or Crewmax, the ride will be much smoother cause the truck is heavier. Of course, I wanted more smoother ride so I ordered custom springs from Alcan Springs. Just arrived today and I will be installing them tomorrow. 8 leaf springs, with poly bushings and u bolts.
