[NOW CLOSED] APRIL GROUP BUY - TeraFlex Falcon Sport Tow/Haul 2.25" Leveling Kit - Tundra

French Avocado - I’m assuming you stayed with OEM UCA’s from looking at your posts. Since I will be doing similar to your setup did alignment numbers have any issues? And although I said it before, thanks a million for the work you put in on this deal. Seems to be an unmitigated success by the responses.

 

@737fixer
Yes - OEM UCAs.
Alignment no problems or issues.
You are welcome - and I am delighted to be driving on these now.
In 2-3 weeks I will have my rear sway bar installed and the new tire/wheel set up complete.
Current wheel/tire has 41 lbs wheels and 42 lbs tires = 83 lbs (stock Platinum 20" with passenger non-LT).
New wheel/tire will have 27 lbs wheels and 61 lbs tires = 88 lbs (18" BBS forged with Falken Wildpeak AT3W).
Net effect is only 5 lbs per wheel/tire weight gain thanks to the BBS forged wheels.

 

I'm in Bozo if you're over over here! I tell ya what, the gains one gets from the v8 SC vs. the v6 SC is incredibly higher and better...I will NEVER drive a gas truck again without a SC...incredible, usable power! Ha! I digress, you're the man when it comes to deals and opportunities! I'm looking forward to building our relationship!

 

And that, children, is how a bromance is born.

 

Non-ethanol and Boostane has been making me smile a lot...come on over and check it out!

 

My only "complaint" about the group buy on these is that Stage 3 keeps sending me promo emails for F150 stuff.

 

Agreed - hit unsubscribe at bottom of one of the emails

 

I did. I still have no issue checking their site for anything I might want, as they did a major solid with the pricing/shipping, but I don't need emails about stuff I can't use.

 

Finally having a minute to put up some pics of my installed kit and give a quick review. The install went very well. Total of 5 hours with me and my mechanic tag teaming it and bs’ing half the time. Coachbuilder +2’s in the rear. I can say for all those on the fence with going over +1 in the rear, that at full axle droop, the falcons still needed to be pushed up around an inch to get into the bottom shock mount. Take that for what it’s worth, but me feel way better that there was going to be no pressure on the shock. The shocks are on the level setting.

Driving the truck now is a today different experience. As those that have their kits out on, the best way to describe it is the truck just feels way more stable and planted on the road. It REALLY shines in the bumps and potholes. I find myself aiming for them now as it’s just fun to feel the shocks working! I was able to hit some rough dirt roads that I frequent often and I know how the truck performed stock, and again the experience is downright pleasurable now. Just so much more stable and controllable and downright fun to drive now. I had my wife drive some of the roads and it’s so dramatically different even she could feel the difference and said the same thing “this is really fun to drive now.”

Overall this is an awesome upgrade and I’m super excited about how the truck performs. Tires and wheels will come in the spring. For anyone on the fence, all I can say is this is the huge improvement over the factory ride and performance. My expectations are far exceeded. Now for the pics...

 

congrats! Did you take measurements?

 

Sorry, money has already been spent, I'll have to wait for a while. Thank you though, very nice of you.

 

Still waiting to receive group buy purchase.
Are there any others still waiting?

 

Still waiting as well.

 

I know Stage3 is shipping them as they get them but I’m surprised to hear there are still people waiting. Contact sales@stage3motorsports.com
and ask what’s going on and I know when I contacted them about a shipping question they responded immediately. I’m assuming you received your initial email:
“Thank you for ordering from Stage 3 Motorsports! You will receive an additional email once your order is shipped. For updates or changes to this order email CustomerService@Stage3Motorsports.com”. At this point I would contact both emails and hopefully you will know soon.

 

I contacted Stage3 sales rep July 3 and he said expect shipment in one to two weeks. I'm guessing Teraflex demand is still outpacing supply.

 

Is Stage3 actually shipping them? Or are they being drop shipped from TeraFlex?
Been awhile but pretty sure mine was drop shipped.

 

Stage3 sent mine FWIW...

 

Just got this reply from Stage3 updating my groupbuy status:

"Unfortunately, the order is going to take longer to ship than originally expected, the 07-20 Tundra Falcon Sport Tow/Haul 2.25" Leveling Kit on your order went out of stock and does not have a ship date currently available due to production delays. Are you able to wait for the order or would you like to cancel for a full refund? Apologies for the delay and inconvenience this causes. Sorry did not see your reply last Monday to our original conversation. Thank you for your patience and understanding, just let me know how you would like to proceed."

Question: should I wait - is the ride upgrade really worth it?

 

Far better than OEM and for the money, hard to beat! I say wait unless you find another deal in person...they are more refined then 5100s FWIW.

 

Embrace the suck...

 

That's what I'm leaning towards - I've waited this long I can wait some more.

 

@atomheart if you have done your research and came to the Falcons for their ride quality and adjustable rear (I can't tell if you got the adjustable rears or not) you will know that for their price there is nothing else that does the same. I'd say wait it out unless you are needing to change your suspension faster.

 

I ordered in November and mine arrived in March. I thought about cancelling and ordering the Dobinson IMS when it was released in January.
I am very glad I waited. I think this is by far the best all around kit out there.

 

I agree the wait your dealing with is annoying but by cancelling your still in the same boat. You still need shocks. For the price there a now enough first hand reviews out there that this system is almost impossible to beat. If you cancel and order something else you will still be waiting at least a month for anything out there and what are you going to get. The similar priced Fox are now chinese made and I won't go further on that. Other brands in this price range you are buying their bottom-end supply and that means cost cutting. I just feel that if you cancel you will spend the future with your truck always with a what-if in your head.

 

How about Dobinsons?

 

Is your truck still drivable? Is so, wait.

 

At the price we purchased, I think you could easily resell and make a profit if you found something else in the interim.
[PS - I need to stop myself from continuing to hit potholes because I love how these work.]

 

Those would be my 2nd choice and were but I opted to wait.
I just looked and their prices are up a few hundred dollars from the intro price in January.

I would wait still.
At the price you all are getting these Falcons they are well worth the wait.
