    I'll post what Falcon told me when I reached out. I asked about using a heavier weight spring to offset added weight:

    "We do recommend using the factory coils and using the heavy accessory setting with our shocks to help off set the additional weight. We have not tested any other coil spring manufactures (other than the OEM) so I cannot guarantee fitment. Also the shocks have been tuned around the factory spring rate. With a higher spring rate from a after market coil spring. It could affect how the shocks react in a negative way causing a more rough riding vehicle."

    I then asked what weight is allowed at the heavy accessory setting:

    "Generally they will allow for a front steel bumper with a winch. I do not have an exact weight rating to offer unfortunately."

    Thank you, I appreciate your time and answers. I will inquire with him once he is done working in my yard. Too many things to put on these trucks!

    Oh, and this forum will spend all your money on those items! :rofl: I bought my truck and planned to stay stock. :rolleyes: Skid plates, rock sliders, SCS wheels, tires, ESP storage, Jomax ABS guards, and now Falcon shocks.... Stock is impossible.

    He should call TeraFlex customer service and ask. There is someone in this thread or another who asked about heavy bumper settings. There is typically someone selling oem takeoff coilovers for fairly cheap.

    @cain0725 Did you see that he s running larger sized tires? I think you should call TeraFlex customer service to ask the reason for listing a maximum tire size.

    Well, originally I got the spare set to pair with 5100s. Then I started reading even more and pretty much ditched that idea. So I was looking at 6112s and ToyTech. Now this deal popped up along with Eibach set for $902 shipped. Eibach makes good stuff, but I know it probably can't compare with the technology that TeraFlex offers in their Falcons. What I like about Eibach is that I can change the front height with a twist of a wrench. From what I've seen and read about Falcon, I see that they offer superb performance, especially off road. My Tundra spends about 90% of time on pavement, and tows 8000 lbs camper few times a year, and this is where I dig the ride adjustability that Falcon offers.

    I can have Eibach next week, for about $400 less, however I'm not in the rush and 400 bucks is not really an issue. I understand that I get a lot more shock for that money. So yeah, with that said, I'm still sleeping on it, and probably will commit in the end.

    Is this kit for 2WD or 4X4? I guess they will fit both. Can someone confirm this kit will fit 4X4 and doesn't require to buy extra parts?

    I always forget that not all Tundras are 4x4. I do not think a 2 wheel drive has ever been shipped to Utah. Yes the kit is made for 4x4s.

    ATTENTION @1UP @Blkdmax @Dsptundra @jtwags @17hmr @RobertD @saybng @The Dude @Saltyhero13 - And anyone else who may be interested.
    You have expressed an interest in this group buy. Please note that the cutoff date has been shortened to April 12th in the original post because folks want to get this moving to get the order placed and we already have 15 - well above the required six. Commit soon or wait until the next group buy possibly.

    Forgive me if this was covered already, but what is done by Falcon to adjust for lean? Is it built into the stock springs or is the left shock set up differently from the right?

    @French Avocado thanks for the update. I'm out this round but appreciate all you did. Glad to see the Falcons getting more popular and seeing members benefit and praise the suspension!

    The springs are what bear the weight of the trucks. Shocks are only going to slow movement to soften things. The lean is a static thing, and should be accounted for in the springs.
