Box was plain white and said "Front Coils" and "2003 Tundra" on a sticker in one corner. I have no idea about the part numbers. I'll call my dealer tomorrow and get the numbers for the 2003 Tundra TRD 4WD coils. What I do know is that I verified them to be TRD 4WD coils using what was posted earlier listing the paint color codes.

48131-AF090 right $112.53
48131-AF100 left $112.53

Red+Yellow goes on driver side
Purple+ Yellow goes on the passenger side

Those prices are full-blown dealer list. You can get them for about $60 each if you shop them around online.

Excellent, BUT..................................

You need to see if it will flex up like this. Until you post a pic, the Frank is still the King. Those are some mighty big shoes to step into. Go out and wheel it and see what it does.

The key is to find a spot where 1 front tire is stuffed and the opposite rear tire is stuffed as well, so you get weight on the stuffed tire.

Thanks, so how much lift was gained over stock height? Would the Sequoia coils give any more lift and still flex as well?

I doubt even Daystar or All-Pro even realize that.
somebody probably already pointed this out but this is a quote from All Pro's site in the Spacer ad:

"Can be used with stock or adjustable aftermarket coil springs."

Somewhere in that range - but to be honest, I think the Tundra 2WD coils may be a little short. If I had to put a firm number on it, then I'd say that the total is 2.5" and the old stuff was 2.25" and the OME 882's (installed incorrectly) were about 1.75".

Sorry, but I went from Tundra Coils w/ spacers to this setup. I don't have measurements with just the Tundra Coils installed. It's enough work to crank on the coil spring compressors to do it once, but to do it twice for the sake of a measurement is sadistic.

The ride is FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!! If I didn't know any better, I'd swear these things are progressive with the way they feel on the road so far.

Put it this way. I swapped the old stuff on my rig out for OME. I got home and emailed Brian and told him to hang onto my old stuff. I KNEW I didn't want the OME stuff. Now that I have these on, my old front is for sale.

Official Sonoran Steel Response to All-Pro Off Road:

I have purchased their brand new $79.00 Profield Birfield Joints for our 1989 FJ-62. I also picked up the inner 4340 inner axles. I also have the All-Pro perch kit on my Performance Trailer by Parker, Hyster trailer. All of these parts are excellent and come with no directions what so ever.

As far as All-Pro's coil spring spacers, as a vendor I can honestly say that they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. All-Pro should "install" a set of their own spacers on the most common shocks and actually watch the disaster first hand.

All-Pro spacers ONLY work with stock shocks. They make the $17.00 stock shock an aftermarket shock. (sort of)

If All-Pro has any question feel free to contact me via the phone number on the Sonoran Steel Site and I will explain it to you.

Try to keep your undies on but the shorter softer 4Runner coils with the 2" of spacers are more than likely the same thing. Welcome to MY 2003.

Great, test these offroad and I might be ready to pull the trigger. Wanna test my SAW's? You think OME's are stiff????
Gotta find a deal on the top plate and rubber thingy.

Andy,

whats the height delta between your front and rear wheelwell lips now, using a perpendicular center line at the middle of the hub to the ground ?

Curious what kind of rake you are getting with the over all combo.



Im around 3/4 inch rake forward with my stuff. (see sig)

I'm assuming that's why they don't offer 2.5" spacers. :razz:

Center of hub on wheel to lower edge of limited flares measured vertically.

Front 21.75"
Rear 22.25"

0.5" rake to the front. Looks like they settled the 1/4" that I was expecting. This puts them at EXACTLY the same height as the Tundra 2WD Coils w/the 2.5" Spacers.
