7'' trail gear springs

I was told by a couple people that TG is coming out with 7'' springs but cant find info on them. Does anybody know if they are really coming out with them and when?

Wow, I have the 5 inch springs and its too tall!! What size tires are you planning to run, and I hope you dont ever plan on going on anything other than mud with that tall of a truck, Plus new driveshafts, and you might as well upgrade to 1 tons, because if you need that much lift to run a tire, you are going to be breaking some stuff in the toyota axles!!

Make no mistake, all things in Texas are bigger. Hell when I moved from there to New Mexico I got shorter by 2 inches...........


So 39's huh? Man that's a lot of tire. I have a buddy running 37's on an 84 Toy with 5" springs and that thing is freaking huge.

you can run 39.5's on 4" springs...just trim...keep your COG low. My 5" springs are too high...
7" springs are way to high...My guess is T-G would not come out with 7" springs, limited market and they have a lot of other products in development.

Big tires means cutting sheet metal...period.

7" springs would be pointless.

Most lift springs settle over time. I got some 5" springs on my 85 4Runner on 39.5s but I'm only 26" at the frame, so nice and flexy.

Anything over 5" is getting into useless show truck territory IMO.

Would a girl have such a hissy fit over one inch? Seriously, s t f u about what is too much, it's what he wants. Just like he doesn't want a body lift or to be low is the same way you're bitching at him...

I'd say get 6" springs and get a longer shackle and or an aal...or go with chevy 63's in the rear and up front some combination of packs.

so your saying for us to stop saying 7" is too tall and to not try and sway his mind.

Yet you say run 6" springs and shackles..
