TRD Tundra Coils with Revtek
bamachem has inspired me to improve my suspension and I wondered what people thought of me reusing my Revtek lift.
I'd add the Tundra Coils and the OME struts.
Thoughts? Reactions?

It looks like bamachem is using 3/4 inch worth of spacers on top of the coils to get his 2.5 inch total.
Still, I think it would be a tight fit. http://www.4rnr.net/suspension.html

Top up spacers have to affect CV angles... Top up spacers, coil spacers, or longer coils all make the spindle drop down and change the CV angle...
If top up spacers didnt affect CV angles, everybody here would be running 3" top up spacers....

all spacers produce lift and therefore change CV angles.
i have a winch and my arb on the front. that's why i have two spacers. for a stock front, one spacer with the trd coils will give 2.5" and no spacer - coils only - will give about 2".
reuse the revtek extended studs and the 3/8" top spacers. do NOT reuse the larger in-pack coil spacer w/ the tundra trd coils.
to get the bottom bolt of the assembly in w/ ANY spacers, follow the directions here: http://4rnr.net/suspension

As for the CV angles, I've got the drop currently installed so that should be a non issue (right?)

Thanks Andy - I really like your rig btw. Just so I'm clear - Doing the setup you have up front with the stock/retex rear should look right.
How is your on road performance? I live in a rural area with very poor pavement quality and the ride with my current setup sucks beyond belief.

I might actually make it this year. A buddy of mine has a stock 99, and he is interested. I'll ride the damage prone trails with you

either one. i think the tockicos are cheaper, and you don't need to worry about overextension of the CV's. i'll probably change over to them in the long run with cruiser tockico's (with my cruiser coils that i still haven't put on) in the rear and sell the $$$$ OME on ebay.
