    Going back to old posts, I've seen the 'debate' between spacer lifts and suspension lifts. Each has their own Pros and Cons. Seems like everyone has their own opinion which I respect.

    With that, I had a spacer lift put in by Revtek. 2.5" in front and 1.5" in rear. I spoke to Revtek, Tuff Country, Local 4WD shops, local Toyota dealers, etc before I had the lift installed. One thing I'm curious about is why would Toyota install a spacer lift if it wouldn't work with the Tundra's mechanical set up? One post from years ago probably had it right - for the money.

    Anyways, I don't see this question out there, so I thought I'd ask.

    I have the 2.5"/1.5" Revtek lift. But I also installed Super Coil Springs in the front and Sumo Springs in the rear made by Supersprings. (they were from a previous truck I had). I spoke to both companies whether their product would compliment each other. Both weren't really sure. They just basically said "go try it out and let us know".

    So, I'm wondering if anyone has a spacer lift installed and then added the Super Coil Springs in the front and the Sumo Springs in the rear. If so, how did it work with Off-Roading (nothing major), towing, and Hauling stuff in the bed?

    Sorry I don’t have an answer for your coil springs. But I’d say with the spacer lift the most important thing is that your bump stops make full contact, before the shock bottoms out. That’s the biggest reason why a spacer lift causes shock failures.
