THanks!
When I spoke with Greg, he said that I may or may not get an email about the shippment. I thought "Thats cool". And if I wanted to call back in a few days he could issue me the tracking number. Either way he said he was shipping mine out yesterday or today and ground time (from experience) from LA to the northeast is about 7 days. I expect to see mine next Wed or Thurs. As for your bank, it may take up to 2-3 days for it to show up.

I ordered this morning and they shipped today; got the UPS tracking number from Greg.

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.

I e-mailed them yesterday with an inquiry about the springs, no answer yet. How about some feedback from those that have ordered and installed these springs.

I will be ordering mine in the morning. I spoke to my now 8 months pregnant wife about the springs and she has given the OK to get them for the smoother ride. She loves the truck just not the "shake" Also I told her it would keep our 2 1/2 year old son and the soon to come baby girl from suffering the ill effects of all the "shaking". I am hoping to mask the Airaid I bought last week with the springs. I may just call it the package deal. HEHEHE. Besides if it does work it will be the best 180 bucks spent so far on my Tundra. I will report back once the springs come in and put on.

Just as a follow up, Greg did e-mail me back today. The price is going to $219. I'll wait and see how the feedback goes before I jump.

You know, I bought a restored 1947 Chevy Panel Delivery truck 2 years ago to tinker with, and I spend more time and money on my 2007 Tundra. WTF?

Two-day UPS delivery from CA to AZ for me. Greg's email was down for a day for those that were wondering on a response.

He did tell me the price was going up to 219. He was actually losing money at 179 shipped, but did honor all the orders at the introductory price.

We are fortunate to have Greg doing products for the Tundra. He has quite a reputation with Nissan, which is when I first did business with him.

NEED HOW TO PICS.....

I have crewmax and don't haul.
How much weight for hauling will one loose.

Ride not too bad in front seat but bounce is noticeable in second row.

Will these help with second row bounce?

yeah.. I'm still wanting to know whats involved with installing these.. Is it something you can do with simple hand tools in your driveway or do you need any specialized tools, Ramps, Jacks, etc.. Anything to watch out for, etc.

From what I was told, you will need at least a jack, jack stands and C-clamps. I saved so much on the price, I think I may just have my dealer do it. It should only cost me about $50 labor. I just don't have the time right now and I want them on the truck as soon as possible......

Another reason I am thinking about having the dealer do mine. You drive in, an hour later you drive out. No laying on the cold concrete, no skinned knuckles, no chance of me screwing something up .
