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

Great job! That is a great deal for a quality item.

 

Tires can be confusing.
Total height of tire is - width (in mm) multiplied by aspect ratio [which indicates the distance from edge of wheel to outside of tire] multiplied by 2 (because you have that height on both sides of the wheel) divided by 25.4 (conversion from mm to inches) plus the wheel size (in inches).

For Example - If the tire size is 285/65R18, then the tire width is 285 and the aspect ratio is 65% of that width with 18" wheels.
[[(285 x .65) x 2] / 25.4] + 18 = 32.59" tall tire

 

thanks for the explanation!

 

Damn! Those videos are making my decision a lot harder.

 

I think you mean it is making the choice easier!

 

Bump!

 

My bank account does not appreciate the truth that you speak...

 

For those on the fence, it's worth it! I have no regrets and love this set up, wish I could have snagged them at this price!

I see some hesitancy because of having to swap the coil springs over, but with a decent set of spring compressors it is a pretty straight forward job. I picked up the

$178 specialty products 40260 universal spring compressor

specialty products 40260 off of Amazon and they made short work of the stock springs



And a truck pic, just because!

 

@49°NRTH - Thank you for the suggestions.

(Beautiful truck - identical to mine except mine is a 2020 but with only 1000 miles waiting for mods to be done. What is you tire/wheel combination?)

 

If your local AutoZone can get you this loaner tool it is pretty solid too.

$200 just to rent it??

 

Rental is free as long as you return it.
Like any other loaner tool they charge you full price and refund upon return.

 

Did this recently when I needed a torque wrench that went higher than the one I own. As long as it was returned within 90 days it’s full refund.

 

Ah, gotcha. Never rented a tool before.

 

For the committed eleven (and for fence sitters and interested lurkers), this will be how this group buy goes down:
1 - Forum (that is me) collects names, emails and phone numbers for those committing to purchase - send me a direct or personal message to provide)
2 - Forum provides Stage 3 the list of those committed upon closing on April 20th.
3 - Stage 3 contacts each committed buyer by email / phone and obtains credit card information. BUYER WILL BE CHARGED AT THIS POINT INCLUDING SALES TAX PER STATE OF SHIPMENT RECEIPT. STAGE 3 will be billed and pay TeraFlex upon a firm commitment for this order.
4 - Stage 3 provides updates to us on status of anticipated shipment from TeraFlex.
5 - Stage 3 obtains confirmation from TeraFlex of shipment.
6 - Stage 3 notifies customers of shipment forthcoming.
7 - Falcons are shipped to customers.
8 - Happy Forum members celebrate receipt of Falcons, and provide Stage 3 with good press and additional business.

 

The old cynic in me would rather contact Stage 3 directly with a code of some sort. Nothing against you @French Avocado , but I don't know who you are and I keep personal info kinda private.

 

Cheers, thanks. Tires are Cooper AT3 XLT 295.75.18 and wheels are SCS SR8 18x9 +25

 

Easy enough. Make a one time email address and use a google voice number.
Deactivate when done.
But I really don’t think the good ol Avacado went to the trouble to get a few phone numbers and email addresses.

 

Better to be safe than sorry. The old avocat may be trusted but the habit is good.

 

Alaska shipping is dependent on address. If you PM me the address then I can get a quote from Stage 3.

For you fence sitters, those peepers peering through the back window, and those standing around kicking dirt in the parking lot out back - this deal may end early (like the 12th) in order to get in line. @Blkdmax @1UP @akmerle @SR5BRAH @Dsptundra @jtwags @saybng @The Dude - count your pennies and decide.

 

Did not know this. Thanks for sharing

 

Okay, okay count me in!

 

Count me in also!

 

you are lucky #13. Please PM me name, email and phone

 

My brother who has a 3rd generation Tundra, just caught me looking at these, he has a question. Will the coil springs from his 6112's work with the front shocks, also what other coil springs would work with them? He bought the truck used and he tows with it, has a large front bumper and a winch.
Thank you

 

Teraflex only tested with stock springs, and they make no guarantee that they will work with anything else.

 

That makes sense with the compression rate of the shock and the spring. Thank goodness for paying attention in school! I will let him know. The former owner upgraded the shocks because of the additional equipment he added. He sold my brother the truck before moving back to Australia.

 

Sure thing. Others may have added the with different springs, so they may work fine. I just don't have that info. In general, it's not super hard to find stock take offs if your brother is still interested in these.

If you use the search and look for the thread titled "Falcon shocks are coming" you might find info from people that have installed with different springs.
