I second what Steve said, I have the 891's and while they are nice the two times a year we use the runner to launch our 26' sailboat in/out of Tahoe for the season, daily driving leave much to be desired, they're very stiff.

Steve: Did you ever post something saying that you would be switching back to the Tacoma dual valved TRD struts from the trekmasters because the dual valved really makes a difference?

This is also why my shackles are in the front, the axle moves forward and just misses the oil pan. Now if you build a Monster Truck, none of this matters as it's so high everything clears.
Im not into monster trucks. I like my rigs with just enough lift to clear the size tires I want to run, flexed out and able to steer at any flexed position.

I plan on doing a 1UZFE swap so I would be treading new ground either way if I kept IFS or did the All Pro SAS.

I recently searched all around for prices on each part for the tundra/ome lift. After adding it all up with shipping costs plus not having the panhard drop bar,diiff drop,rear brake line and parking brake bracket plus the support of Sonoran Steel I found that in the long run it was better and easier to go with Sonoran.
And believe me I have done my research as far as prices go. I have ocd.

No absolutley not. The blue shocks have fallen from grace for me and the green Trek Masters is what I feel is the best shock for the kits.
