I have emailed them a few times regarding a lift kit for my Tundra and haven't received any feedback. I want to order their kit as soon as possible but do not know if they are still around. Should I just place the order and wait to see if I receive the parts? Any suggestions? Thanks fellow TS members.
I would call them up but long distance charges own me. When you ordered how long did it take to get your parts and how satisfied are you with the lift?
I think they came UPS ground or Fedex ground, I can't remember which, but I'm extremely happy with them. If you're going with the Cornfed setup, pay the extra $15 for the differential drop kit Cornfed has which includes the longer bolts and 1" spacers to lower the front differential down a bit to relieve the angle on the CV joints that the added 2.5" lift up front gives. Also plan to do the CV Boot Mod too. Once you have that added space, my CV boots I guess loosen up a bit and it spits grease out which can lead to CV joint problems later on.
Since one of my boots has a small hole in it I went ahead and just ordered a pair of 930 inner boots from Cartek.com today, so I'll be swaping them out next week sometime when they come in. They're about $35 each, so both inner boots cost about $70.

I have a 2001 Tundra, and would like to lift it about 2 ½ - 3 inches with the intent of installing 285 tires. I’m basically a newbie at this and, as such, have a bunch of newbie questions. Forgive me if these have been covered before or if this is the wrong forum.
Are all spacer-type front lifts basically the same, or is one brand better than the others?
I’ve heard that these lifts put stress on the upper ball joints. Is this a serious problem?
If so, should I replace the upper control arms too?
What about the CV-joint boot mods? What is this and why is it important?
I’ve seen lots of instructions on how to install the lifts, but nothing on how to install the differential drop kits. How difficult is this to install?
For the rear, which is better (a relative term, I know)? Lifting blocks or add-a-leafs?
How do the lifts (front and rear) affect the brake lines? Do I need to install longer hoses too?

Whats up Cyperbilly and welcome to TS. Here's the answers to your questions, don't feel bad we were all newbies once and we all learn more everyday.
-- There are two types of spacers. Ones that mouny ontop of the coilpack and ones that mount inside the coil pack. I believ the ones that mount inside the pack are better. Protech's GenII spacers mount inside
--- With 2.5" you won't have upper ball joint problems, but combined with new coilovers, a new control arm will give you more travel
-- Your CV joint should be fine. You can add hose clamps for added safety or replace entirely with Porshe boots.
-- I had a shop install my diff drop kit. I would recommend buying this kit.
-- Leafs will give a rougher ride, but allow you to put more wieght in the back(more usable in my opinion). Blocks keep stock ride but are less stable and can break easier.
-- With 2.5" of lift stock brake lines are fine. Higher lifts require new line.
If you want to get a 2.5" lift, I would reccommend going with coilovers. I have spacers and they are great, but in the long term coilovers are better(my opinion). Also, invest in some limit straps.

I agree about coilovers, but I'll still probably go with spacers. I don't do a lot of hard-core off-roading, and besides, I'm a cheapskate. Besides, I could easily double the cost of buying the truck with everything I'd like to do, but it already has 51000 miles on it so I'm not sure it's worth the investment.
