I don't know if it helps or not, but RCD sent a brochure of a 6" lift system. There are pics of a lifted Tundra on the brochure. Maybe they are getting closer. RCD is pretty much the lift I've decided to go with too.

They have a brochure, but thats it. They say end of the year at the earliest. I have had the brochure for about 4-5 months, so don't get your hopes up.

That s***s I have been thinking about giving them a call . I wanted to see what other options were available other than blocks for the rear. I guess I have two questions now. The rear and WHEN????

Wait....the rear ?

So does that mean they have the lift for the front ?

This company is killing me...I remember back in jan at a off road show in pomona, I saw their white tundra with the 6 inch lift...what the hell is taking so long ???

if you look at red's tundra's photos he has several pics of a longbed tundra with the rcd lift on it and in one you can see a new steering nuckle.

Wasnt tuff country's lift problem the ball joint? Wouldn't this be a moot point with a new steering knuckle?

Borrowed pic from Red.

This is another good angle

Thanks for the pics Red

The problem with the tuff lift was that the spindle would snap. They're redesigning the kit with a new stronger spindle, that won't be out for a couple months. If RCD doesn't hurry the heck up I'm gonna get the tuff lift instead.

Ah thanks wes.

I have been toying with this Idea too. Just adding the Teamwest coils rather than using the spacer.

Rcd lifts on fords come with new hefty long spindals so upper control arm stays in same position and links and tie rods,only thing that moves is the tranfer and the lower control arms.I have installed two kits on f150s,and I must say I like that.The lift on the white tundra for rcd has different spindal and from what I saw on the pics they are nice and hefty.Im sold.WHEN WILL THEY COME OUT WITH IT-WE CANT WAIT ANYMORE.TS HELP!The only thing is that yes the pic was a 2wd tundra-now-to lift the truck you have to lower the tranfer case but the front drive shaft goes over the rack&pinion.Ok what happens-does the rack go lower or the drive shaft go under the rack?

Any answers
Chris

Hey guys, why not call up fabtech or CST and see if they will make a spindle kit, tell them how RCD is toying around and that tundra/tacoma/sequoia owners will buy them.

Or go to a custom shop like camburg or pro trucks and see if they can fab up some custom spindles. Im guessing here but a custom set of spindles (not the most badass ones, just somthing decent) will run about $1200, if you guys get a group together you could get it much less. Just some thoughts.
