Just a theory at this point. Need to test it.

Yes, that's correct. The revtek-type sapcer sits on TOP of the factory top plate, hence the longer studs. As long as the top plate bolt pattern matches the revtek-type sapcer, then you have compatability.

Here's some crappy pics of the side and front 3/4 view in the parking lot that I took a few minutes ago...

Looks good! Ahhh...I want this new setup.

The pressure of the coil spring pressing on the head of the bolt will prevent them from turning, so that won't be a problem - I would rather have the studs, but according to Revtek, they have them specially made. I would just provide the Grade 8 hardware w/ the spacer kit, and if you wanted the revtek studs, then you could just cough up the $42 they charge and use them and chunk the Grade 8 stuff.

Alas!! I have Tundra coils, and billies too!!! I just got them on about 25 minutes ago, and took them for a little spin. All I can say is, WOW! These coils actually compress when you hit a bump! I think the HD Billies work fine for me, albeit a tad stiff. I'll get some measurements and pics ASAP. I'm so exhausted from dealing with this, but it's so worth it. I notice that my a-arms are now much more level, meaning I lost a lot of useless lift and gained a whole lot more droop. Amazing, simply amazing.

What springs are we talking about? Tundra 2wd or 4wd? I am confused b/c of the spacer issue. Gapguy, which springs are you running?
#92
I'm running the AF090/AF100 coils with a 3/8" top spacer. I'm going by part numbers only, as that's the only thing that is confirmed and consistent.
#93
Can someone help me understand the rear OE conical bumpstops? I'm guessing that I have them already on my 4runner. Is there any reason to replace them when I put in this new suspension?
Andy: How is that spacer kit comin'?
Thanks.

you have only a ARB Sahara Bar up front?
How much lift? Still a soft ride? Checked the travel?
thanks.

Will the TRD set up be ideal if I have a decent amount of added weight in my butt? Or is there something I should add to compensate for that?

Yes, they are the YY/BY coils

Yes, I used a 3/8" top spacer and the longer Revtek studs.
Also, I still have the measure the flex and whatnot, but I'm pretty sure these are viable option. SS3 will be testing them more throughly. Look for his results.

Thanks gapguy. My truck is a 96. I bought it with 83k miles on it and have no clue if it was done or not. The truck was originally in Canada and then later brought to the US. When that occured it had lots of things switched over but not sure about the bumpstops. If the recall wasn't done what should I do?
