    Hey all, new to the Tundra world. So new...that I don't have one yet. I should be picking a 2nd gen up in a week or two and coming from a world of heavily modifying cars, I'm already looking at lift kits.

    I won't do the coil spring blocks. I'd really rather not do the rear leaf blocks. Trying to find a kit that offers a full new rear leaf pack. Looking at 4-6", but nothing over 6". Won't be doing a whole ton of off roading per-se, but I am moving to Montana, so definitely "overland" style, rough back roads etc. I used to own a built out Rubicon and I drove it for how it was built. Just trying to see what I'm looking at price wise for a kit with the full leaf pack. Thanks guys!

    No such thing a coilover "blocks". There are spacers that some folks use, but I don't recommend. Contact Toytec. Many options for you decide on. Don't over do your lift. Match your lift for your off road experience.

    The 'spacer' that's included for use with rear leafs on most cheap lift kits...it's a "block" of steel. Lol. :p

    I looked around at Toytec awhile the last few days. Most kits don't seem to come with a new set of rear leafs. I was surprised at how many included the rear spacers, and front ones for that matter. :eek:

    Nope, you're correct. I meant shock/strut spacers.

    There are strut blocks basically in mosts lifts. People are insane running them.


    Full height coilovers and replacement springs are the best way to do it

    I don't troll..been here for over 4 years. Welcome from Colorado. You don't even have your Tundra yet. Our "Search" function can be your friend. You make a first post and and I try to correct you and even give me shit. Look at Toytec's site closer....no go karting here...just sayin..
