Do a search for the tundra lift, you'll find hundreds of posts on it. Also you can click the link on my sig and you can see what i've done to my 98!

Ok, first off, http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting.php

Now to answer your question, there are quite a few set ups out there. There's several companies that make coil-over setups if you want high dollar stuff. There is Old Man Emu, which makes good stuff but their front shocks tend to provide more droop than our CV's can handle under hard wheeling. Also guys use the TRD Tundra coil springs in the front to give 1.5-2" lift, add a little if you throw a small spacer in there.

Do a search for "TRD front" or "New Front" and you will find very helpful threads like this https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/t...-update-85963/

I'm very satisfied with my current set up. Swayaway coilovers are a cheaper alternative to Donahoe. I went with a custom spring pack in back do to body armor weight. Right now I'm stuck in a PITA situation with Toytec going on 4 months. I'll post details if it ever gets resolved (never again). I have had excellent service/pricing from Wheelers Offroad-Jason over there seems to get what good CS is about. Most with experience (including myself) will say stay away from spacers over 1", or at all if you're planning much offroad.

I went with toytec for my 3" lift (all spring; only 1/2" spacer on front). They are Old Man Emu springs 881 up front and 891 out back. Very pleased with the service and price. I run 285/75/16's (33x11.50) with no rubbing.

I'd take a look here before I bought anything from Toytec: http://www.toyteclifts.com/warranty.html

15% restocking fees on cancelled orders AND defective merchandise? Meh! His "warranty" is nothing but a @#X*stick.

Check out Steve at Sonoran Steel and check all of his lifts. They are $$$ but I doubt he makes alot off of em. If you price all that they include, he sells them for CHEAP. He has everything from mild lifts to larger ones. Under his FAQ he answers practically every question you could ask about lifting.
