    New to the forum, I've had my truck since 05, time for some much needed suspension help

    I will be replacing the weak leaf springs on the rear of my tacoma, I'm looking at
    Dorman leaf springs
    Kyb monomax shocks
    Dorman shackles

    Kyb monomax struts for the front
    Kyb strut supports

    If I replace the front coils will the moogs be a good replacement? No lift wanted just stock, but I do drive on roads that have beat my truck to a pulp during deer season.
    Looking for advice, I will go with new OEM's from toyota if neccessary, but its another 100 bucks for the pair. I usually only put OEM replacement parts on, but it's not affordable here for the springs!
    Help me out here experts

    - OME suspension - Custom front/rear tube bumpers - 33x12.5r15 BFG KOs - Deckplate mod + AFE reusable filter - Aero Turbine 2525 exhaust, chopped before leaf spring - Toyota Horns emblem by Diaz Fabrication - Pioneer stereo and new speakers + 10" sub - camper shell
    I would just go with a full OME replacement suspension from Wheeler's Off Roaf if you're not looking for lift. they have stock height leafs and springs and they'll last a lot longer than the setup you outlined.

    and don't go OEM. its a total waste of money to put stock parts back on. the factory components are for cost efficiency not performance.

    Well I don't have the 98 anymore, but it was hands down the best little truck I've owned, my advice would be spend the extra money and get a good set of springs from Wheelers as stated or Dakar's, the dormans were ok, but I should have went with a better set, use nothing but OEM parts on the engine you won't regret it. If you shop online and do your homework you can save yourself dollars, http://www.1sttoyotaparts.com/ is a good place to start, I bought a lot of parts from these guys! Hope this helps
