I can't find a lift kit

    Hi everybody!

    I've trying to snag a mid travel kit, but they are literally just gone. Then I looked into the eibach springs, for the mean time, for my 21 trd pro, but they were just pushed back to next month, possibly longer. Now I'm thinking about the westcott's, but I'm in a pickle with the rear.

    I don't want to add blocks and people have been talking about ride quality issues with the stock fox's and aal's.

    What can I do in the rear to get it done before hammers? It will be a short term solution, so I don't want to waste a bunch of money, however, my tires are sitting in the garage waiting for a solution.

    Any info will help.

    So why not blocks. Eibach makes and sells 1 inch blocks for the TRD Pro truck. This is in tandem to thier front coil. It is $100 and temporary as you say. Maybe permanent once you find it doesn't affect the rear in any negative way. Also very easy to install and remove...

    I've had bad experiences with blocks in the past. I'm most talking about not forking out a grand or two for shorter shocks than I'll be using permanently.

    Even if I wait for the eibach's, I'll be looking for a better rear solution.

    Fair enough. Just seems like a solid temporary solution to provide lift in the rear without the need to change your shock. I have not read anywhere that changing shocks is required with a Pro and the 1 inch block. I could be wrong...

    Order a mid travel kit and begin the long wait. If you are carrying a bunch of static weight, add an AAL to the back. If not, leave it alone and enjoy not spending money on a temporary solution.

    Perhaps use this as an opportunity to save up for an even better kit. The pot o gold at the end of the rainbow positive thinking approach!

    Dude, this is life now. Order what you want and wait. Now you're a month + how ever long you've put off putting in an order.

    FWIW, when I called Eibach last month to order up a kit for my truck... they said it would be 3 weeks for the 2.0 lift kit and a month for the blocks. I placed the order and had everything in 2 weeks. My wife was not impressed having to lug that heavy box into the house while I was at work!

    And that is to Canada to boot!

    Hammertown opens January 27 and closes February 5th!

    Ask @Crikeymike at Exit Offroad! He has a bunch of parts in stock See here.

    Or, there's always the dark side, Icon's Electronic Compression Dampening Valve Intelligent Control as seen here.

    But, yeah, PM @Crikeymike . And get some Hammer Hangers too!

    So I originally ordered the mid travel fox adjustable kit, and they kept calling me and saying that it's gonna be another couple of months, to the point it was coming mid next year...

    Thanks for the advice! I'll hit up @Crikeymike!

    I've been looking for either the king or fox kit. Kings are either used or 40 weeks out. Fox's are quicker, but still waaay too long.

    You might seriously consider these MRAs with the 110 leafs and the 354 coils. :thumbsup:

    I wonder how long the wait will be for new Tundra suspension components.

    I really like the trd pro stock, which is why I was thinking about the westcotts, but I scrape the skids and rear bumper every time I go to my cabin. I had to raise the elevation to prevent flooding. Already put 265 75 16's on it, which made it better, but still scrapes. Now I have 285 75 17's sitting in my garage with new gears.
