thanks for the response. i have been thinking about putting the revtek lift on mine. does the ride feel close to stock, or a bit stiffer?
anyone know if OME is putting out a 3" lift out on the 4th gen?

the suspension works... i have added a significant amount of weight so i'm running into a few problems but outside of that i'm okay.
the fronts are the same as the tacoma shocks that bilstein sells but modified w/ the extended bracket at the bottom between the eyelet and the base of the shock. the travel itself is identical so it makes sense.

your avatar looks like a 4th gen, I thought you had one at first glance.

I have the Revtek lift, and to be honest, I have not noticed any difference in the ride. If anything, it feels better to me, though I am not sure why. I have 4" in the front and am soon to have 3.5" in the rear from coils alone and shock mount relocators to keep shock travel stock.
There are a ton of good threads around here about the different lifts on 4th gens ... Also, NE is coming out with some great stuff soon. Some of us are already running their top-out spacers, and others are about to run the first full kit with Daystar spacers, NE spacers, NE coils, and NE shock relocators. We should be in full production with those kits come September 1st at the latest.

can i steal some of the thunder?
Downey just called and it looks like they're on full production on the front coilovers. Finally and it's about time (I think they figured out where the potential was after the fact). Anyway just wanted to tell ya guys. Also it looks like they're gonna be making other stuff too (upper arms n such) apparently now (since my truck will be going back to em for more measurements).
Look to see them selling alot of stuff soon within the next few.
Don't forget Fabtech is also working on their own coilovers too (no exact word on the status since this is all heresay).

i'm only a marketing maven because i love the parts i'm running. if it says anything, i keep harrassing billy to let me help on everything that i can because i believe in his plans and his designs and his thoughts. sooo ... don't worry, i ain't gettin' paid or anything, just some parts i believe in.
I GOT MY WHEELS TODAY. few more clear coats to put on first before the tires tho.

Any idea on pricing yet? Even if it is just a ballpark figure until the prices are finalized? We talking $200-$300-$400???

believe me ... i was being told the whole time that they'd be shipped the next day, then the next, etc., and so for three weeks i've been hoping for them - then they finally came today and i just need to put a few more clear coats on.
anyway, yours are awesome. mine are the bajas, and black, so you and i should both have neat setups.
