Suspension & AxleTechnical discussions regarding alignment, stock and modified suspensions, lift kits, axles, hub conversions, gearing and steering.
This is a discussion thread titled "r.c.d lift info", within the Suspension & Axle forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
We have made several changes to the original system we developed and we are back in the vehicles testing mode. Our current projections are that the system will be available by the end of the year. We do not have any cost yet.
oh, i thought RCD was only doing a spindle. Nobody makes more diff drop kits than fabtech, rancho or pro comp. I know there is a cradle kit for the taco and even though the tundra is the same suspension it is wider so thats a no go.
The only diff. drop or cradle lift that is out for the Tundra is the Tuff Country 4.5'' lift. In the beginning they had some balljoint spacers instead of a new spindle to keep the balljoint angle in check. Now they're redeveloping the kit with a new longer and stronger spindle. The only truly weak point with that lift was the balljoint spacers, now that they're developing the new spindle it should be a fairly strong lift. However the tuff lift is a little confusing to me. When it first came out it was a 5.5 inch lift, now its a 4.5 inch lift. I wonder if the diff. is really dropped 4.5 inches or if it is dropped 5.5 inches. If its dropped 5.5 inches I think that I'm gonna try and get the tuff lift pretty soon.
Rumor has it that RCD will have their 6" lift for the TUNDRA in the works end of December 03/ January 04. They should have a complete spindle system, full sub frame drop down brackets, i.e. same as the Chevy & Ford systems and rear blocks, possibly an add a leaf. This 6" system will fit 35" with no problems. Keep your fingers crossed......

W/F, I noticed the same thing in my Tuff Country catalog. It says 5.5" and in the mags it says 4.5".
To tell ya the truth I would rather have a 4.5" rather than 6". I think I am going with the Tuff lift once they have the spindle situation worked out and available with the kit.
Currently there is no Tuff Country available for the Tundra whatsoever. The 4WD has been discontinued and they are working on replacing a few things. The new kit is scheduled to be out in 90-120 days. Right now the only lifts available are body, coilover, and spacer.
Thank you for your interest in our products. We are looking into a spindle option for the Tundra kit. At this time we are still trying to work out some bugs with the spindle design. If all goes well we expect to have the spindle design available within 60-90 days. If you have any more questions let me know.
im definately interested in getting the lifted spindles? did he mention how much lift or price by any chance? 60 to 90 days is better than waitng till dec or jan for rcd's spindle? man would it be sweet if we could get a group buy on the spindles!!!!!
