The Toyota Tundra is racked forward from the factory and we fix that with an easy DIY spacer kit install from ToyTec. Plus, we review the Edge Insight CTS2 Digital Dash and test the Tundra’s 0-60MPH time.

I have that CTS guage in my Subaru. Its pretty cool!
On the shock/strut comment this is what I found on the interwebs for the difference.
"The major difference between shocks and struts is that a strut is a structural part of the vehicles suspension system where a shock is not. A strut is also crucial part of the vehicles steering system and greatly affects alignment angles. Camber and caster angles are usually adjusted right on the strut itself. A strut is also a pivot point for the vehicles steering system and contains a coil spring. Because of this an alignment is always needed when replacing a strut. This is also the reason that struts are typically more expensive than shocks."
Time to invents in a wall mounted spring compressor. Lol
Any power mods planned for the truck?
That pile of Honda in the background!
It is much more efficient (geometry and function) to lift/level using a height adjustable shock rather than using a spacer.
it looked much better without the spacer!
going for the full bro truck look. i always thought leveling kits just make them handle worse unloaded and way worse when loaded.
How do you like the Edge CTS 2? Does it show transmission temp?
FYI: Rake also helps with aerodynamics and fuel economy
"Pedantic", great $5 dollar word there lol, keep up the great videos.
Don't you guys have track cars to work on? Whens the next track outing?
Seems like a strange spacer kit to me. Why wouldn't the spacer go on top of the top hat instead of under it. You're effectively increasing spring rate to raise the car. I've installed spacers on a few cars and they went on top of the strut top.
