Mine will consist of Tundra TRD 4x4 coils (by,yy), OME 890's and Trekmasters. Im not putting on a topout spacer, see if I like the .75" of rake. I'll post pics ASAP. In about 4 days, Im getting some 265/75/16 Nitto Terragrapplers. They are with the dumb UPS men.. I'm excited.

Got the Tundra Coils from www.trdparts4u.com. The part numbers are 48131af090 and 48131af100. About $190 for both with shipping. They're stiff, thats for sure.

I also did the Trekmasters on mine. It seems a little bouncy but I think it'll mellow out with a little time.

Looks nice, any rubbing with the 285s? I'm itching to get my Tundra coils and 285s on also...

No rubbing at all now. I barely had any rubbing with 2.5" spacers on it. Just when it was fully cranked, and I trimmed the very inside of the running board about a 1/4 inch and that fixed it.

MUST HAVE PICS. I am excited to see the results since thats the exact same set-up I am going with, I already put the shocks/struts in and just need the springs

I just wanted to make a suggestion. If using a Sonoran Steel diff drop. The skid palte still hit the diff mounts even with the mod. I used a couple of spacers that I had gotten at harbor frieght years ago in an assorment. As you can see from the pics with new bolts, they fill the gap pretty good.

Hopefully they find it.

Exact same thing has happened to me 3 times, all 3 times to the wrong house, each time they delievered it to a different house. Lets just say they now know which house is mine, i let them know that, plus now when my address pops up on the computer there is a description of my house. Luckily i know the phone number the distribution facility and know where it is, i drive there and yell, or call and yell.

I love my tundra coils! I got them from evan at northridge for just under a hundred bux a piece. my only complaint is how stiff they are...but i only have the 2.7L on top of em. so my truck is a little light for their spring constant.

That's why I went with the Tokicos instead of the Bilsteins. Even still, it's bouncy.

I have the same setup that you are going with, spring wise. I like the little bit of rake that the TRD/890 combo gives.

Well I got it on. BUT it bounces like crazy!!! I'm hoping the alignment will help. When i hit a bump decently hard, I hear a popping noise. I put a bushing the on the strut because the washer was hitting the nut with about a 1/2 inch space. It filled the space, but i still here the noise...spring hitting strut maybe?

It might be your skid plate. Mine rattles because I am lazy and didn't reinstall it properly.
