Looks to me like PRG is pimpin' old springs on the new truck?????  |
Greg is a sharp and very trustworthy truck guru. He told me he found out after the fact that by including shipping he was losing money on the introductory orders but honored the price anyway.
He probably gets these wholesale and then sells them shipped for cheaper than you or I could buy them anyway. He's probably charging less than he should for the expertise he used to come up with what seems like the only proven idea to really fix the bed bounce. Even at $220 it's still a bargain.
I was lucky enough to get one of his early kits for the 05 Frontier (that was the first year of the new body style). Never a problem with that kit, and I am sure he has done his homework well enough for an equally good experience on the Tundra.
As much as people like to gripe, you can be sure someone will post if this spring pack doesn't work. Read this entire thread: everyone has nothing but praise for Greg and the mini-pack. I get mine tomorrow, but my shop might not have time to install it til Tuesday.

07 DC SR5 TRD 4x4 5.7 TRD exhaust, 46K miles, 17 mpg city after battery disconnect reset. Truxedo Lo-Pro with deck rails. Front Susp: Stock coilovers, 4" lift ( http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...6-4-inch-lift/), swapped extra spacers for Bilstein 5100s on lowest setting, wheel well height still 41.5." Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack ( http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43." Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper. After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/, 295/70, or 35x12.50/18. Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now. Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed. Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.
