    Well Nick, you've come to the right spot (build thread?) I def. do things a little differently than most, I'm looking for a set of 1st gen. Tundra coils to get the 3" lift that Eibachs (like yours I assume) provide. I'm running Tundra 5 way adjustable 5100's in front, so seems logical to match them with the coils also....;)

    Any questions or ideas you may have just sing on out & let me know...:D

    P.S. I love the stance your truck has also ... good job bro'...

    About to go to a junkyard and get some leaf springs. Even with the 3-leaf aal for wheelers (installed 1.5 years ago) they are flat, still rides good, but sags like a b**** with weight in the bed!! Probably cause I beat on the poor thing, oh well its a yota. Probably head to a yard on wednesday.

    I'm just lovin the OMD leafs! :D

    Its not so much the "best fitting", stock Toyota springs are roughly 2.5" WIDE, this is the most important thing to look for.. (many use this width as a standard) Ford, Chevy springs I've seen both & they both perform well, I'd do what I've done before I'd get an AAL (wont last) My springs just happened to be off a late 80's early 90's Ranger. As far as brakes go, no issues with either you mentioned, what I would get is an extended rear brake line, I just released my hard line from retention clip & gained about 2" length, doesn't rub on anything & just floats with articulation of axle...;)

    Thanks bro'... I just started cutting away on it till I ended up with whats left of a stock bumper, I really hate the looks of the stock one & the valance was constantly hitting when coming down steeper approaches...;)

    I think I paid like $5 or $10 bucks for the Raptor exhaust, so far so good, souinds decent, a little more responsive for sure (how could it not be seeing how the stock muff. is a 55 gal. drum with a silencer, big P.O.S.)





    Thanks Anthony, how ya been buddy ??;)
