I've searched high and low, and I can't seem to find any greaseable pins for the 1st gen Tundra. I'm replacing my stock shackles with a greaseable set from Archive Garage, and I want greaseable pins for the leaf springs also. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Pm me about your parts please. I already have a factory LSD, but I'm def interested in the gears so that's an easy swap. Then for the front end...

Thanks for all the input, guys. Hard choice, to be sure, but right now I'm leaning towards 4.56. I really liked the stock performance and I'm just a little afraid of going too low-range with 4.88's.
Where does the speedo get its info on this truck?

So it's between 4.56 and 4.88.... tough choice for sure. I don't have a trailer at the moment, but with 2 kids I'm considering building one out. I also understand the relationship between engine loading and fuel economy, and I do a fair amount of freeway driving, but honestly I doubt the...
Ok gang, I could use a little helpful advice on gear ratios. My Tundra is an '02 with the tow package, 4.7l V8, LSD. I'm running Cooper ST MAXX 255/85/16's, which measure out at 33", and I plan to stick with this tire size. I'd like to get some performance back, as it's a bit overgeared for...
I ran thru 2 sets of ko's and now I'm running Cooper ST Maxx 255/85/16's. BFG's were great but I definitely like the ST Maxx better... way more rugged and great handling. Just my 2c. Good job on your build.
If you want to give it a go, its really not hard. Get a footlong piece of 1/2" or 9/16" allthread, some nuts and heavy washers. Clamp the pack together with c-clamps, then remove the center bolt and replace it w the allthread.
Back the nuts off to slack the springs and tighten it up to...
Looking around under the hood, I realized (shamefully) that I couldn't remember the last time I changed my spark plugs. I went ahead and ordered a set of factory spec plugs on Amazon:
NGK (7990) BKR6EYA V-Power Spark Plug, Pack of 1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CJ5Z7W?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
As I...
My 2 cents...?
Go with an overland pack like the AG, which will allow around 500# extra payload yet still behave nicely while empty. Then, for towing, slap on a set of good airbags or, my preference, Timbrens. The bags/Timbrens will give you the support and stability that you are looking for...
Hey, thanks Addison. Yours was one of the builds that got me inspired. Maybe you can help with my rear shock selection? Right now I have Bilstein 5100's and am running the latest Archive/Deaver 10-pack. At full droop there is 29" between shock mounts, and my current shocks (from the old setup)...
Lotsoftoys, here's the link to my build thread. There are pics and write up of the leaf pack install there.

I didn't do a shackle flip, but I did do a U-bolt flip. For me, doing a shackle flip to gain ride...
I have easily 500# of gear, wood, fridge in the bed, canopy with hardshell RTT, 2 5-gal MFC's and 5 gal water can on one swingout and my spare on the other. The Archive Garage 10-leaf pack by Deaver handles that weight very nicely... only compressed 3/4" from empty height, and manners were...
I did the bolt flip kit just to clean things up. I hated those old bolt ends hanging down exposed to snag on stuff. I already had the timbrens so I chose the option that let me keep them. I originally got them to help with trailering, but now they are really just glorious bump stops because the...
Ok, here's a couple shots of the front view. With the Ivan wheels, the tire is pretty much flush with the flare.
Another thing I learned is the Ivan wheels are 16"x8", while the factory wheels are 16"x7.5". Not sure how much this matters, but they did solve my frame rub issue with the new...
"We have talked about this setup on the rear suspension thread... :) Figured I would ask the question here. Would you still tow your 23' trailer with this setup?"
With the AG/Deaver leaf pack, I would absolutely tow my 23' trailer if I still had it (I sold it last year). Handling is much...
