    My front end is up about 2.5 over stock where it is now. I plan to swap the coils for 650# or maybe even 700# when I do the front end bumper/winch down the road. I'm looking to go to 3-3.5 over stock up front which should sit darn close to level once the rear is loaded.

    Nice ! Yea I recently added a front bumper which might've bumped me down a half inch. I'm running 550lb Springs though I have a set of 650s I might swap but I believe the 550s I have are an inch longer...at least that's what the guy I bought Them from said... don't know how that plays out with lift

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I have zero idea what speedo gear I need, my truck came with 3.58s but now I have 4.10 and I am running 265/75/16s but I am not sticking with those for much longer. As I understand it, they aren't too expensive to swap out so I'd like to get one for the current setup and then later I'll need one for 5.29 and 34s or 35s (haven't found the tires I want yet)

    I figured out halfway through Montana that my speedo is 1 mph off at 72 mph, with 4.56's and 315's.

    Will you post pics when you install the TC kit? I want to see if there's room to hack it up to fit 12" shocks.

    Thanks. I'm hoping it can extend further up into the wheel well, not sure how tight it will be in there.

    Scrap metal and some frustration with a cheap welder. No but seriously, it was real easy. Just cut up some cardboard to mock up what you want then transfer it over to metal. I used 1/8" bar for the long piece which is kinda flimsy but bolting the box to it stiffened it up.

    Stuff and things that make it better.
    Use this equation to figure out what size you need: Old wheel diameter x old Speedo gear teeth, divide by new wheel diameter = teeth on new gear (each tooth accounts for about a 3% change).

    Speed sensor gear part numbers:

    AT
    30 tooth 33403-39365 3.4/2.7
    32t 33403-39425

    Dude these sas'd bastards have a gauntlet of shit in store for me. Were doing basically all of the hardest trails excluding bfe.

    Pritchett and begin the rocks backwards, the pickle, rusty nail...like I don't think I have enough spare cvs for all this. I'm not Silas!

    Only doing this because Sluggo gets trailered down

    Scored an OEM 1998 Tow Hitch for my truck 10 minutes away from me for $70. First time I've bought something for this truck that isn't 4-5 hours away.

    I don't see many 1st gen OEM hitches anymore.

    Questions please.

    Is there a difference between wheelers eibach T1 coil and the Toltec eibach coils ?

    I have no added weight to the front of my truck, and do not plan on adding any, what I would prefer is a 550 lb spring. Can't find that information.

    Can I add these springs to my adjustable Bilstein's that I have installed already with the stock spring set on the middle perch ?

    What is the best way to go with the rear ? Add a leaf and new shocks ? Full leafs and shocks ?

    Not wanting to spend a bunch of $$. If I did, I would get some total chaos arms and kings up front, dealers and kings in the rear.

    Truck is a 2003 prerunner with 265 tires.

    About to get a new Sprinter van and want to do a few things to the taco since I decided to keep it.

    Thanks in advance.
