Suspension & AxleTechnical discussions regarding alignment, stock and modified suspensions, lift kits, axles, hub conversions, gearing and steering.
This is a discussion thread titled "Toytec lift, add-a-leaf or blocks?", within the Suspension & Axle forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
I saw on their website that the toytect 3 inch lift kits offerred you a choice between blocks and add a leafs. For mainly street driving, no towing, which one is the better choice? The website recommends blocks, but just curious on what some of you decided.
I went with the blocks for the ride, I have a toper on and it still rides good. add a Leaf's are good for loads, but I don't us my truck for loads all the time. one day will have to get air bags.
I have the add a leafs and I love the ride, even whan not towing. It does not make it too stiff. I was a little worried about the ride too being that I dont tow my TT much but am glad I did.
I recommend not buy-in a toy-tec kit at all...When I worked for an offroad shop we had to fix every one of them we did...Rev-tek is pretty much same thing but better quality... Thats just my .02 but the add-a-leaf is the better route any way you look at it, it will just stiffen the ride a hair.

What is it you had to "fix" A solid piece of aluminum spacer?

I think the way to go is the block. I have the block and it rides fine. You probably look into Helwig helper springs if you are going to tow or haul anything, that would be the best of both worlds. I loaded my 07 Tundra down with almost 2 yards of mulch and the mudflap about drug the ground. No where near as good of a hauler as my 02 Chevy 1500HD.
it was stock components that were fixed...not lift components...i was just chipping in my .02...no need to be defensive.
Why don't you do everyone a favor and explain exactly what goes wrong?
What stock components fail?
That way, we all will know what to look out for.
Not being defensive, just back up your statement please.
