Default Re: Rides Like a BRAND NEW Truck!

I don't recall anyone trumpeting a springpack as a "miracle cure" or indicating that this is the first/only/trail-blazing option out there.

There's no guessing necessary - you're free to market your version as you wish in whatever venue you feel is cost-effective! I could really care less what was available when, and from whom as long as the product works. I simply said the results are awesome for a couple c-notes, and I bought from a vendor that has always provided me with great advice and top notch levels of customer service. I've gotten some great info from this forum, and wanted to pass it on.

Anyone who has modified a truck's (ANY make or model with rear leaf springs) suspension knows the benefits of replacing the overload spring. However, the improvement of stock w/overload vs. added springpack was exponentially more obvious on the Tundra than any other I've driven/owned/etc which is the cause for my excitement.

Furthermore, there are many Tundra owners that don't necessarily want to modify their trucks, but are very unhappy with the ride quality. So yes, for some, this concept of enhanced ride may be something new. I don't take people's knowledge and experience for granted. People need to know something is out there in order to buy it and enjoy the benefits...

Here's my final post in this joke.

Greg, That's nice...

Daniel, I first complimented, then complained, get it right.

General, thanks for backing me up on what the real size should be.

Third, Posting "Rides like a brand new truck" and saying this is the way the truck should have riden, sounds pretty much like a miracle cure to me.

Later.

Call it whatever you want. You can call it a bowel moment if it suits you. As I already said, the ride quality is amazing now compared to what it was before for less than $200. This is a part that not everyone knows about. If that's a miracle to you, fantastic! Your interpretation of my wording is inconsequential.

I'm sure the people that buy this springpack (or ANY springpack designed/produced/sold, for that matter) will chime in with their own testimonials that can help other members draw their own conclusions and form purchase decisions. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the cushier ride with my incorrectly sized, not really designed by Greg, stolen-from-another-vehicle springs

Cya!

Greg was very helpful to me when I ordered my spring kit on Wednesday. I am happy to say they arrived in two days.

I hope to install them this weekend.

Since the rear will be raised a bit, what front end lift can anyone recommend I get to even things out again, sorta close to stock? I would get a 2" front spacer kit or something? What brand(s) are decent, and how involved is the install?

Thanks in advance for any replies

Mark

This thread will help you...>>>List of Spacer Lifts for the 2007 Tundra
I would recommend the Readylift for what you are looking to do, or the Truxxx if you want to go a bit higher ($200 to $300 range DIY).
If money is not a concern, look at a Total Choas or OME (Old Man Emu) package. ($2000 range DIY)

I am new to this lifting stuff (older fart), so pardon my ignorance.

What about this idea:

eBay Motors: Toyota Tundra Tacoma FJ Cruiser 4Runner 2" LIFT KIT (item 140218278353 end time Mar-30-08 21:25:47 PDT)


Is this in line with what I need?

Thanks again.

Sure, I guess...but as far as I know, that particular one is unproven in the Tundra Solutions community on the new Tundras.

Unproven, by a no name company, equals cheap knock off junk to me.
But, that is just my opinion, stick with the list I posted in the thread and you'll be ok. Read through everyone's opinions too.
I won't be responsible if you buy a set of these $100 spacers for your $35,000 truck and they fail.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but I don't want you to hurt yourself, your family, someone else, or your truck. Believe it or not, there is some engineering involved in designing a spacer. The $100 dollar kits have not engineered $h!t, they just copied.

My 2 cents for what it's worth. Good luck

WOW, has this tread taken a turn. Can't wait to get mine put on to see what kind of a decision I made . Greg, I'm pretty confident that I will be happy with the ride, but if I'm not happy with the "rake", I'll be calling you to feed off your expertise for a solution . I will also be looking at MXSJW's recomended sites, he usually comes up with some pretty good stuff.... Pat, thanx for input and letting us know about this product. Imdone, thanx for the input - food for thought.

I spoke with Greg this mornig before ordering my mini pack and he is very good at what he does. For those of you who are going to get these they are on back order. He is getting another batch next week and I should get mine soon after. I asked him about a replacement lowering spring pack and he said there is a large demand for those. He has been working on a lowering spring pack and will be coming soon. Don't know when but he is working on some ideas. He actually tried to talk me out of the mini pack because I want ot lower my truck but a better ride now is what I want. Keep up the good work Greg and it was a pleasure speaking with you today.

personally I would prefer the air ride over hydrualics. You can't beat the ride with air. Still the same affect is achieved . When I was in a truck club years ago we took a trip from Redwood city to Riverside in my friends 3/4 ton chevy extended cab which was riding on bags. The ride was awesome. Even at 120 mph!!! Crazy Iknow but it was a fun trip
