2001 tacoma suspension

anvilhead · 04-13-2007, 12:19 PM

OK I think my 2001 has a front lift kit over the coil springs. Does anyone have any pictures of stock front suspension? I want to remove the lift if that is what I am looking at. Can I just remove the shocks and remove teh block from the front end over teh coil spring? ANyone KNow? I just need a stock truck... not lifted any, unfortunately I drive much more on the highway than i do offroad and when i do drive offroad its usually at teh beach. and when im at teh beach I am usually fishing more than I am riding and when i do ride on teh beach i ride slow. so anyone with any information I would appreciate it.

does it look like a inch and a half peice of metal or rubber if it is lifted you should be able to jut take out the spacer and you are back to stock

Yeah It looks like a Metal spacer. It is between the spring and the spring housing. can I take it out withoug compressing the spring? How does this all fit together?

this is how you take out the strut if the spacer is monted on to you shouldnt need to compress the spring to take it out you might have to undo the lower ball joint to get enough room to remove the strut with the spacer on http://www.lieblweb.com/tacoma/Mecha...ft/Daystar.htm

are you going to sell or give away that spacer when you take it out? If you are, i would be interested.

I need a set of original strut mounts. If someone has some let me know.

Ebay (Tokico) Are you looking at TRD or non-TRD?

anvilhead · 05-16-2007, 12:56 PM

Bought a set of Strutt Mounts and finished installing them yesterday. SO I guess I dont need anything now. The freaking mounts were a little over 50 bucks a piece. I will sell the spacers I had in it. drop me a line if anyone is interested.

99taco3150 · 05-16-2007, 03:11 PM
