Do you have a direct link to the exact item you put on your Tundra? at $199 I can certainly afford to give these a try.. I just want to make sure I order the exact same ones that have worked so well on yours.

Thanks!

Give Greg ( PRG) a call @(951)780-5331, its usually the best way to get ahold of him. He could probably email you a picture of them if you give him a call. These 3 leaf mini packs will probably be on his new website when its up and running.

If you get a chance, please post a pic. If the back end is an inch higher, it must me raked quit a bit. The back end is up pretty high already, stock. I'd like to see what that looks like before I try a set.

Here's a picture of the Nissan springs from the PRG sight... the Tundra should be quite similar.

I agree, Greg and Jen are fine people. I also had the pleasure of meeting them when they visited the east coast.

It did in my case. My issue was never the freeway, but poorly maintained secondary roads. I am a happy camper!

Default Re: Rides Like a BRAND NEW Truck!

just for your info...i emailed greg cuz i tow an rv and here is the response

We recently developed a 3-leaf add-a-leaf ("mini-pack") that replaces the overload, gives 1" of lift, and really takes the harshness out of the factory rear spring. So far the results have been very, very good and towing seems to actually improve. We tow a 10k lb enclosed race car trailer with too much tougne bias and it tows better than stock. Although we will add a small airbag assist just to insure we stay level at max capacity. We are also working on a very nice remote res. rear shock to compliment either the SAW or Icon (formerly DRE) front coilovers and our own inner-heim pivot UCA. The springs are $199 shipped. Please call as this is a new product. Thanks...Greg 951 780-5331

I like it except for the 1" raising part. I hate the way the truck is raked stock right now and I dont intend on lifting the front to level. so another 1" raise in the back would drive me nuts. $199 is an awesome price for getting rid of the harsh rear suspension though.

Just so you know my rear wheel wells are 1.5" higher than my front, but it looks level. I don't think an extra inch will really change your look, though you will probably need to tweak your headlights a little.

Every mod I have made has improved my bed bounce a little. It sounds like this one will cure it once and for all. I'm going for it. My past experience with Greg on my Frontier makes this an easy decision for me.

07 DC SR5 TRD 4x4 5.7 TRD exhaust, 33K miles, 17 mpg city after battery disconnect reset & removing extra (charcoal?) air filter. Truxedo Lo-Pro with deck rails.

Front Susp: Stock coilovers, 4" lift (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...6-4-inch-lift/), just swapped extra spacers for Bilstein 5100s on lowest setting, wheel well height still 41.5."

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."

Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.

After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.

Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.

Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.

Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.

Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.

Order my set from Greg this morning and was a pleasure to do business with. I think he is the first person Ive emailed and got a phone call response, and he answered all my questions indepth. He was also saying that he is in the process of buying his own Tundra and was also developing other products for us as well. I think these mini packs are gonna be great.

I dunno bout you but me and everyone that has looked at my truck immediately sees that it is raked. Now adding another 1" in the back is just going to amplify the look. Not a big deal for those who have lifted their front ends or just figure the higher up the better but for us stock suspension folks it is a big deal. Of course I absolutely hate the raked look so I am biased.
