Well, the test sway bars will finally be being built tomorrow. Hopefully we'll see those in our hands next week and then we can get to fit testing the 4WD setup and get this thing into production. LOL, I swear this kit is destined to be delayed as much as possible!!! Our test fitter was SERIOUSLY injurred and right now is out for 2 weeks but could be as much as 6 months. Either way, we'll get this thing installed, might just mean I get to be the one doing the install!!! Oh boy, just what I signed up for!!! Not....

We're working on it and will know a lot more in the next week or two.

Why doesn't RCD post any pictures of the progress on their web site..... it would probably be a good idea anyways. www.racecardynamics.com is the web site if anyone wants to visit it!!! Not that it is very useful for us TUNDRA owners

I'm currently running Mickey Thompsons with 285/75 R16 BFG's on them. I think I'll stay with that setup as I'm not a fan of overly huge tires.

I really can't wait for the kit, I'm waiting with checkbook in hand

with a 6" kit, your wheel and tire setup will look very small, a good size would be 315's.

I'll disagree. I have 6" of lift on my truck and 33's are fine. It's all a matter of personal preference. If you're talking hard off road use the way I use mine more than half the year hunting, scouting, off-roading and the like, 35's are only going to cause things to break and fail sooner. Been there, done that with other trucks.

...lift & tire size is largely a personal decision for *most people* on the forums here. unless you're going krawling on a regular basis none of you will need to worry about your tire size, which is directly related to gear ratios and expected obstacle height, and changes torque loads in the drivetrain. it wont matter if you have 35s, unless youre frequently on the trail, and then you'll notice the increase in radius every time you climb an obstacle or try to compression brake.

besides, the ability to run a standard 35 means you can run a wide 33 if you want...or whatever you like, your sheetmetal is gonna be six inches further from the rocks regardless what you end up with .

I want to get American Eagle Alloys with 35" BFG's.....it will look clean..... what do all of you think about the billiet grilles on the tundras??? I am not shure if I like them yet. THINGS TO ADD TO MY TRUCK: RCD LIFT, tounea cover, exhaust, tint windows more, and remote start. I am also not shure if i like the roll pans, my friend told me to get one but I have never seen one on a Tundra.... it might look good once it is lifted?

It is true but, don't know how production is going. It's been talked of for about 1.5 years. RCD stands for race car dynamics. Their website is www.racecardynamics.com

Yeah yeah... I'm supposed to get the last remaining part to do the fit test on the 4WD this week. (heavy duty sway bar) Assuming our vendor comes through and is on time, we'll line up a vehicle to install on probably next week. Our Tundra is currently at Bilstein having the shock valving figured out so hopefully that won't cause any delays since we're getting that outta the way early on. I'll let you guys know when it is released for production and give you a guestimate of 1st shipping date based on that. Before the ? comes, price is outta my control and beyond my knowledge. Seems like the general public knows the cost of the kit before I do so don't waste your time asking me about that... I can say though, you guys have some HUGE *** EXPENSIVE bolts in this kit!!!! When was the last time you guys priced

3/4"-10 x 5" Gr.8
3/4"-10 x 6" Gr.8
or
5/8"-11 x 8.5" Gr.8

Bolts? Ouch, there's some $$$$
