I dont know...I ran 2wd Tundra Bilstien HD's (NOT OEM) with my last set and they were FAR from harsh. 882's with OME's were harsh. SAW's were harsh.

 

and 2WD Tundra Billies are valved soft like the OME and Tockico/OEM stuff. 4WD Tundra billies are valved firm along w/ all tacoma and 4runner yellow billies

 

Hey, i have a 2.5" cornfed spacer on top of a bilstein shock just like in this picture. Based on these two pictures, is my set up longer overall than the tundra spring and double cab shocks? i'm wondering because my cv boots are shot after 5 or 6 weeks with only one wheeling trip. If this set up is shorter than will this save my CV's? if so, i'm gonna go with this setup up front. Thanks.

 

That is a 2" Cornbred spacers from years ago when they made them out of steel. Personally I don't like the new aluminum ones.

Your assembly and all of these are the same length, there are spacers that increase the length, but none of those are pictured. Cornbred spacers put the "meat" inside the pack, so your assemblies are not longer.

I would imagine that your issue may be too much lift. Are you over 2" ?

Over 2" seems to greatly increase wear and tear on the boots.

 

Have you done the diff drop yet? If not, with a 2.5" suspension lift,you should get it asap... it should fix some of that angle.

Even with the diff drop my stock outer clamps gave way and spilled some grease on both driver and passenger side... I ended up prying out the stock ones and replacing them with regular hose clamps.

 

Considering that he has not made sliders in years.......

I'm willing to bet you have MY old original sliders.



Did you buy them from Mark in AZ? If so they are my old sliders.

 

Sorry to fill this thread with banter. I did do the diff drop from Cornfed, its a 1". My spacers that i ordered were supposed to be 2.5" all around but the front sits up a little higher than the front so i think i definately got more than 2.5" of lift.

Steve, thanks for your reply. I figured that without any topout spacers, my coil spacer and shock would be the same length but i wasn't sure. I understand that the OME shocks are longer and that would account for a longer "coilpack." i wound up ordering a 2.5" daystar spacer from wheelers cause i don't have the cash right now to do anything else. i know its just a quick cheap fix, but oh well. If i still have bad angles, i'll start another thread about it. I didn't want to add another CV angle thread though.

Thanks for your help guys.

 

Actually the Daystar spacer splits the load and will add 1" to the over all length, but that is really not the problem.

The issue is that you are up too high. I think I have the lowest prices on Daystar stuff. Did you pay more than $95.00 for the front spacers?

That's what I sell them for. Also a 1" diff drop only removes around 1/2" of lift from the CV's.

 

i forgot that you sell them steve. do you make a bigger diff drop, like a 1.5"? i got my drop from cornfed when i ordered my spacers. the spacer was 99 i think from wheelers. should have shopped around, damn.

 

A 1" diff drop is really all you can do as the vacuum actuator is extremely close to the cross member at that point.

My u-joints are perfectly straight. One of the benefits of a Dana 44.



I am willing to sell the "resale" parts like Daystar and TJM at dealer cost if you also order some of the custom parts myself or Stubbs makes. With re-selling you make such a small profit, it's almost not worth it, with custom made parts, your time is what pays.

Order a diff drop and I would have floated the Daystar spacers at my cost. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

 

Damn, thats an awesome offer. Let me see if i can cancel my order. I like your diff drop cause its Tapered.

 

Just confirming, but if I call or go to the websites of either of those links in the first post and get those part numbers, I'm good to go, right?

Chris

 

Just an idea, but I noticed that the part numbers indicate it's for a 2000-2002 Tundra Access Cab. What do you think would be different if I got the springs for the 4-door model. Do you think we could eliminate the need for the top out spacer even more. The only thing I wouldn't want is them to be stiffer, just longer.

Chris

 

I'd be curious to see what a Sequoia spring looks like too?

 

The Sequoia springs are in fact longer. No one here has tried them and no one here will have any clue about them what so ever.

Seriously, no one is going to know anything. But here are the part numbers. We never went there. So don't ask me any more questions because I don't have any more info.

Here are the part numbers for the Sequoia coils:

Left Side: 48131-AF120 @ 380mm
Right Side: 48131-AF110 @ 372mm

The Tundra coils are the EXACT same length as the 4Runner coils only the wire is thicker.

The Sequoia coils are indeed longer.

 

Ok, what are the length's of the stock 4runner coils then? Is the Sequoia coils thicker and longer than the stock coils?

Chris

P.S. I know you said not to ask any questions, bu these are mainly about the stock coils.

 

1999 4Runner, V6, 4WD, 16" wheels:
48131-35400
368mm

2004 Tundra, V8, 4WD:
48131-AF310
363.5mm

2004 Sequoia, V8, 4WD:
48131-AF120
380mm



You can't see the 4.5mm difference when you set the coils side by side. Hence to avoid confusion, it is easier to say the 4Runner and the Tundra are the same. The 99 4Runner is a hair longer, but the 96-98 and 01-02 and Most of the 00's are a good amount shorter than the Tundra coil. A very small amount of very late 98 production, 98's got the 99 coils too. Some of the very early 2000 production 2000's got the 99 coils, 2000's made in 1999. The rest got the low riders.

 

so, the sequoia coils are probably the same spring rate as the NON TRD Tundra coils, but may be NON PROGRESSIVE and are 17mm longer than the tundra springs. that equates to about 2/3 of an inch.

however, if they are NON PROGRESSIVE (since they are NON TRD) then you may find the ride quite stiff...

 

Yep.....

 

if you can get some for cheap or free, then try them out and let us know.

if you have to pay full price, you might as well get what we KNOW works instead of gambling $175 on something that you may hate.
