    if I bought new coil overs for the front of my 05 Tacoma that has a 3” inch and 33” tire would the new coils add more height ? I’ve noticed that some of the coils say that they are for 1.5” to 2.5” lifts and some say they are just for stock no lift. Do I need to get the ones that say they’re for 3”-5” lifts ? Or does that mean that it adds 3”-5” on the truck? Sorry I’m ignorant to this stuff any info is appreciated

    What lift do you currently have? Spacers? Coilovers?

    I believe it’s a rough country 3” lift but The previous owner did it so I’m not positive. Not sure about spacers either. I’m pretty sure the coil overs are just the stock black ones

    If you have a spacer lift, you'd be better served by replacing them with lifting coils and leaf springs. That's all dependent on what you want out of the truck, and what you do with it.

    I wouldn't add lifting springs to a truck that's already lifted on spacers.

    If I bought these would they add more height? My 33”s already rub on the fender sometimes when I’m turning sharp and over a bump so I don’t think I could take anymore height

    Toyota's are awesome

    Technically these will yield less lift than you already have... As stated in the description they will offer 0-2'' of lift in the front end...

    I would not recommend putting your spacers on top of another lift... That is honestly asking for trouble for your suspension...



    What is your overall goal with your truck? How much lift are you wanting/ how much offroading are you doing?
