But you said you were skilled and could fix them? As your "boss" I'm concerned if you lied on your resume....

Order completed. Spoke with John, thanks again @French Avocado .

 

I'm stoked! Thank you for all that were involved in putting this together. Since I'm going back to the oem trd springs, does anyone remember the lean amount with the 38gal tank?

 

I'm all ordered up as well. John at stage 3 is a good guy to deal with, very happy I pulled the trigger. Thank you again Avocado!! I can't friggin wait.

On an unrelated side note...I picked up a new pistol and rifle (Sig Virtus patrol and P365Romeo) that I am also awaiting to come in, and my wife has locked down my credit cards haha. Put those stimulus checks to good use.

 

Order is in with John. Thanks @French Avocado

 

Order complete. Thank you @French Avocado for setting this up.

 

Order is in. Super stoked! Means I have 12 weeks to get my spare springs removed and ready for install.

 

My order is placed and confirmed.
I am very interested in those who are purchasing tools or renting tools to remove/install shocks from the coils. Is there a good working tool that is recommended? Is there a shop with a really nice tool that will charge a minimal fee to do the job?

 

@Squatting Pigeon - as long as you have been drug into this thread, is there a way to change the thread title to start [CLOSED] on this group buy? My work here is done.

 

Thanks!

 

@RobertD he did do something here!

 

Doesn't count, it was after the discussion. Too little too late


Jk, glad you made him work!

 

I hope you are paid better than I was for putting this group buy together!!

 

That's you holding the trash can lid....

 

You have now won the bingo pot!

 

Order confirmed.

 

I know I'm too late, just saw this right now but I did see in your original post that it may be extended depending on demand. Is there any way I could squeeze into this group buy?

 

Not extended. Sent you a PM.

 

These springs are absolute beasts. A wall mounted unit is going to be your best option.

If you don’t have access to one these are actually pretty good.

Don’t use anything front Harbor Freight.

This is probably the best rental tool available but not all Autozones will get one in for you.

A quick look at the Ironman site has Frontier springs at 554 lbs.
Tundras are 700 so if it struggled on 550 the nearly 150 lbs will likely really make it work.

 

My understanding is that Stage 3 has made contact with each of the 18 buyers in this group buy, each of which has received 20% ($300) off the purchase of the $1500 TeraFlex Falcon kit. We shall patiently wait for the next 12 weeks.
In the meantime, interested to know how you will prepare during the long wait.
Interested on the cost to remove/install the springs for those willing to share.
I for one will spend the next 12 weeks getting ready by first powder coating my spare set of springs. I also ordered the BBS forged wheels, black lug nuts and TRD Pro centers. Open to suggestions on tires - both size and brand.
How are the rest of you preparing?

 

While my wait is done and over since I ordered in November I’ll give a suggestion on tires.
Since you have 18s
275/70/18 I have found this to be the all around perfect tire size for a truck that sees mostly road driving but also moderate off roading.
The tire options are plentiful, the weight is not crazy, they are reasonably priced, no need for cutting or trimming, they don’t stick outside the wheel well slinging crap all down the side of the truck, and when buying good tires they perform what most folks will encounter off-road with ease.
As for specific tires if you want a stellar road worthy tire with a long life tread warranty but handle all conditions were well the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT is a great choice.
If you are looking for a bit more aggressive tire but still has very good road manners and are good with no tread life warranty the Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx.

Most others will come in with some 35x12.5 suggestion as for some reason 35x12.5 is some magic number that everyone want to try to fit. In my opinion all that does is waste money, the tires are silly expensive and gas mileage takes a huge beating and gains nothing, though some folks think they look good.
Yes, some folks need a 35” tire for their off-roading ventures. Running this Falcon setup you should not be trying off-roading trails that would require 35” tires.
