Wheeler
First off, I do not work for 4 Wheel Parts. I just want to pass on the saving to others who maybe interested.

I just got off the phone with the local 4 Wheel Parts in Plano, TX (Dallas location has really bad service). For the month of Oct, one of their many specials is 1/2 off labor if you buy their Superlift suspension. Their normal store price is $850, but if you ask, they will honor their internet price @ $744.95. Normal installation labor for T100 is $650, so 1/2 off would be $325.

I'm working to get an approval from my boss (wife) and will hope to have it installed by month end.

Is there anything unique (good or bad) about Superlift suspension for T100 that anyone can share? Given the 4" lift, I was going to have just blocks in the rear as there are options for add-a-leaf or new springs. I had Trailmaster lift on my last Toyota, but thought I would give Superlift a try with their thicker bracket.


02 Tacoma Double Cab TRD Prerunner .. just added 3" lift .. more to come

The good thing about the Superlift is the one-piece crossmembers.

The TM doesn't have those, and it also uses 2 bolts for each main bracket attachment point, which can be a pain to keep tight (hard to get to both side of each one. PC and SL use one large bolt for each same point.

I had heard that SL quit making lifts for the T100, so if 4wpw still has some in stock, jump on it before they're all gone! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

No wonder Devon never returns my email or calls. And that explains why 4WheelParts is "clearing" out the T100 Superlifts (hence the cheap price).

I have one set of blocks and AAL from Superlift if anyone is interested. You'll need longer Ubolts. Oh, and what SL doesn't provide, you need the ebrake clips from Roger's site to extend the brake lines over the blocks.

Soon, I should have the AOR Shackles for rear next week.

Could someone post a link to the site for ordering? Also where do the clips go (ie. on the ebrake assembly or do they hang down from a mount above to support the cable and lift it over the blocks?) Thanks.

Go to Roger's site http://4crawler.cruiserpages.com/4x4/ForSale/Shims.shtml

scroll down till you see the Toyota eBrake extensions. The link will show you a picture (not exact but close) of what it looks like. It just extends (vertically) the connection point for the brake cable connector. This allows it to be OVER the spring pack and blocks.
