eldog · 07-07-2009, 01:37 PM

sxd, what kit are you referring to? cheapest drop ive seen is 800

Cheap way is to heat the springs until they sag

Haha yep! My buddy did this in his 240sx when we were in high school. What a horrible decision

Yo Dog, RIjon has an awesome kit for sale here

ive seen it before. good deal. will still need airbags for rear since i actually use the truck for work and load it up occaisionally. that puts me at 1k plus. just checkin options

My kit was 500 with shocks, Mcgaughys economy drop. You will need bags for that too as it is a flip kit for the rear. This a rear only kit for 399.99 I suggest the 3.25" only because 4" will put your rear lower than the front. Tundra Racing-2007-2009 Drop Kit

Can you post a link? I doubt it will be straight bolt on. I am acquiring my parts for a full Air Ride system now, and it will be a custom build for sure.

What do you think?

eldog · 07-13-2009, 02:20 PM

yo marky! have you checked out this kit. seems to be pretty complete. your opinion?

Marky Mark · 07-13-2009, 05:32 PM

Hmmmm...Not sure..I have went back and forth with AirBagit for many months now. I am still leary that this is actually a bolt on kit. Funny how my AirRide guy and I had a shouting match by email with this guy, and now they post this. I do not believe they have ever built the front set up for the Tundra.
