top plate spacer and studs for Tundra coil swap

What's the difference in lift height/quality of the different options? I went to the Sonoran Steel site, but it doesn't look like they are sold separately?

Wheeler's has a Revtek set and a 10mm enhancer set? Is this the same thing?

Toytec has their TOE listed as providing 3/4" of lift?

I am making some calls in the morning to each of these shops to see if I can get some of this info, but I wanted to see what experience anyone else has had. Should I stay away from a particular vendor.

Thanks for the help. My tundra coils and shocks have been collecting dust since I bought them from Gumbo. They need to get on the truck ASAP!

I don't think SS sells them separately. I could be wrong. I do know that what he sells is a well thought out and tested set of components. That was proven again yesterday by me. Some parts in his kits are factory, others are custom fabricated and extremely heavy duty. But they all work well together as a system. The top plate spacer is 3/8" and the studs are included in his kit. Can't go wrong with Steve's Stuff. Plus he's a way cool dude that knows what he's doing.

You can make the spacers for less than $7/pair if you have drill press or a Dremel tool. Took my buddy less than 30 min to make 4 of them out of the 12"x12" sheet of 1/2" HPDE he got from Mcmaster Carr.

The studs are simply a Honda ATV wheel stud that are $4/each.

Yeah, his reputation on this forum and in the 4wd community is excellent. I read on his site that he only sells his kits as kits, so I guess I am going to roll the dice with another mfr.

If I had not already bought the front, I would be buying his system for sure.

update:
I bought the spacers from Steve today. He was a nice guy and of course very knowledgeable about all things Toyota.

It seems that spacers are going to be either 3/8" or 1/2" in size no matter where you get them. After talking with Steve, I bought his since these are the ones that have worked on the Tundra coil swaps, so why should I try and change something that has been proven to work.
