    *EDIT*
    Just remembered I also have the Cornfed 1.5" perch spacers for these also, new and unused. Pics later.

    12K miles on them. Just put on 5100's so I swapped over the springs and top hats.
    Complete otherwise.
    $50 plus ship or I'll potentially meet you near/around Minneapolis area.

    For those unfamiliar, these simply install under the lower spring perch and raise it, increasing spring preload and ride height.

    Bump.

    $85 total gets you the red Bilsteins AND 1.5 inches of lift with the spacer rings.

    Should sit pretty level.

    You re-use your O.E springs and top hats from your coil over assembly.

    Hi, i am new to tundra's. I'm interested, but not was hoping to get a better understanding of what these would be used for? I want to lift my truck, would these be the right ones for it?

    I have a 25 Platinum and want to put 37" tires on them, but also wanted to adjust the overall height of the truck too.

    Short answer is no. If you're looking to go 37's, a simple 1.5" "level" lift in front will NOT get you there. That's what those collars will provide. Sorry.
    I would suggest you read up in the 3rd Gen forum and the Suspension forum also.

    35's are not too difficult on these trucks, but 37's will require more lift, and more work.

    Thanks for your response. This is the first time I'll be doing any mods to a truck, so its all new to me.

    I did read that in order to put the larger tires on the Tundra a safety bracket needs to be removed behind the wheel liner, otherwise it will rub when the wheel is turned completely.

    Yes, I believe that's a requirement for 37's, however I have been able to keep them with 35's.

    How was your ride quality with the 1.5 lift.
    did you need to do a alignment afterwards?

    I never had the 1.5 Cornfed preload spacers installed on the O.E. Bilsteins. They're still new.
    I'm sure if you search you'll find guys running these.
    I was always under the impression that a preload spacer was a better way to go than a top hat spacer. I'm sure that can be debated.

    In my opinion, any time you mess with (lift) front suspension, no matter what means you use, you should get an alignment.
    I base that on not being a fan of wearing out $400 tires prematurely.
