    A longer spring is always better. A lower rate with a longer spring will merit a smoother ride every time.

    It will also mean way less preload for the same ride height.

    Yeah. What is happening is that there is a slight delay and causing the truck to stall. Only happens when getting on the fwy when I gun it and brake them try to get going again it will stall. I would have to coast to the side of the road and restart the truck to get going again. Been driving side streets for now.

    If I want a little more lift tho, the 700lbs will probably be a better choice?

    just the longer srping will help you there. Honestly id do that before you go to a 700. That would be a bit much i think unless you ran 0 preload...which would be pretty close to no lift.

    Yes sir. I was gonna go with a longer spring but im already dumping too much loot already this month. I just dropped her off for a tub job and a shock rebuild

    600s

    Same. I like the ride. Would hate to go to 700s and hate it.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Yeah that might cause a little oil leakage haha. slather some JB weld on it after cleaning it thoroughly with alcohol and let it cure for 24 hours and it'll at least stop the leaking for a bit.
