I am also rather unimpressed by the spring pack. I also don't like the lift in the rear. I have since installed a self leveling rear air suspension kit. Having done that, I am even more inclined to remove the spring pack. The air system is really handy if you haul loads or tow much. Over all, I think the best mod I have installed is the rear sway bar. Just my thoughts.

Sorry its taken a while to see this. I really don't know how much water is in the Shurtrax. I have it about 1/2 full where before it was at seam splitting full before. I would guess the weight to be in the 150-200 lb range. I can still pick the thing up and move it fairly easy where before I could not.

Also on a side note my axle was shifted which caused the steering to be off. I had the left side 1/4" further back than the right which changed the thrust angle. I have since adjusted the axle and the steering wheel is now back to center.

18,000 miles on my truck, and the springs are still running strong. I rode in my coworker's new DC, and I could definitely tell the difference!

But I notice the smallest details when it comes to my vehicles, so I appreciated the ride improvement from the day we installed the springpack...

I have a tad over 17K on mine. I drive some pretty nasty roads every day to boot. I'm still VERY happy with the ride.

I'm still impressed by the difference the minipack made, and it feels even better now that I have SAW 2.25 rear shocks valved by Greg

Does anyone know how these SAW shocks compare to Rancho adjustables? I have Ranchos in the rear with the Mini-Pak, but I am not totally happy with the combo.

Does Greg valve them specifically for the Tundra, based on what you tell him you want? Also, how much do they cost?

Thanks

Mark

I have a base valving that I start with, which works for most people. But if you have something unique, custom tuning is always an option.

Well, I removed my minipak today (what a pleasure that was). I also installed rancho 9000xl adj shocks. In all honesty I cannot say that removing the minipak made any noticeable diff for the worse. It feels basically the same except the ranchos seem to really be working in canceling out the bounce aftershock which is my biggest complaint. I don't live in CA and have to put up with quite the road conditions some of you have.

Anyhow its also nice having the assend of my truck back to normal too.
