    Would I need to buy longer shocks for the front or rear if I were to use this 3" lift kit? (using 884 coils) I would think that at full droop the stock shocks would bottom out before the leaf springs, or the front coils would..


    Thoughts?

    Nevermind, I just read the FAQ on toytec's website...
    It say's:

    Q. Do I need longer shocks with your 3" kit?
    No, The stock shocks work exceptionally well on the 2005-2007 Tacoma trucks. We do stock several longer rear shocks for optimum flex, and performance off road if desired. Kits with front coils will benefit from the use of OME front shocks, they are designed to match the front coils.

    I know this was long ago but no one commented.

    I have the stock rear shocks but added toytecs extension to the top of the shock. Looks weird to me but works fine.
