Incredable. A significant improvment over even the Frankensein Cronbred/Revtek/99 Coil setup.

As far as I'm concerned, Cornbred, Revtek and Daystar should all be out of business. This is by far the best lift bar none in my opinion.

Also keep in mind that the Sequoia coils are even longer yet. That is uncharted territory, and I don't really see a need to go there, the Tundra/Revtek-Andy top out works so well. If these Tundra coils are TRD and Progressive, Hey I really like them. I can haul botty on dirt roads and go slow over rocks. These things RULE!

Get the TRD 4WD Coils !!!

That would be a complete and utter disaster.

Are you planning on use a 1-1.5" spacer with the Tundra TRD coils? DON'T! It's just going to stiffin up and you won't flex. The Tundra coils with two top spacers is the most you should go.

Any spacer with the Tundra coils will defeat the purpose. If you want to use spacers or want to have more than 2" of lift.

THIS IS NOT for you.

Yes he could re-use the Daystar studs but not the spacers.

Use the Daystar studs w/ my spacers. I sell Daystar studs, not Revtek. Just don't re-use the Daystar spacers.

nope. my spacers are 3/8" thick and go on the top of the coil retaining plate. 3/4" thick (2 spacers) will yeild 1" of lift, but OUTSIDE of the coilpack. Cornfed spacers are INSIDE the coilpack and yeild a stiffer ride than outside-the-pack spacers. I don't know why, but they do and anyone who have run both kind will agree.

You will have too much droop, bad idea.

No, to much down travel in the front, which would result in broken parts

Wow I read this entire thread. My head hurts and almost everything I needed to know was on the first couple of pages. This setup sounds great and it looks like I wasted my money on the OME front springs which I havent even seen yet. Se-la-vi thanks for all the work guys.

Yep, if you can send them back and get a pair of the TRD coils, just made the switch and the ride is much better than the OME.

Question top out spacer required?

Wow, great thread guys. Thanks for keeping it updated too. I am a TTORA guy and I think I will be hanging out here a bit more often for info. I have read the entire thread but am a little hazy on one thing - are the top out spacers outside ontop the coil necessary or optional? And if I achieve enough lift (2.5") by doing this tundra coil install on my 4wd V6 Xcab Tacoma without them, is there then any reason to install bamachem's custom spacers? Other than that question, I am seriously considering this option to fix up my lift...my kidneys will thank you....

You’re only going to get 2" of lift even with the top out spacer, which goes outside the pack. The Tundra coils are really only good for 1.5 on their own.

What you will get is a front Suspension that works beyond belief, it will compress with very little effort. Keeping the tires on the ground a lot more.

I know that SAW's are supposed to be for high speed desert, but I have never been able to go as fast as I can now, even with SAW's?
