    Yes I am stock springs. I adjusted them today 3 clicks out from full damper on both high speed and low speed. Still rocked a little but I guess that's the trade off for having off road race shocks.

    spring rates for these are too soft. they need to have 650 stocks and 700 as an upgrade.

    They should have done this for 3rd gens instead of just taking the same 2nd gen shock and calling it good for a heavier truck. The 600s are ok for a 2nd gen, but are even borderline with no weight.

    I didn’t install either, all I installed was the space for the sway bar.

    Been thinking if it’s worth it swapping out springs before install

    for those wondering, the king coil is slightly wider than the fox ones. eibach/icon coils might have better fitment. i run them with zero preload

    Going with heavier rate springs is not the correct solution for the rocking. The rocking is a result of improper shock valving. Other related symptoms are front bounciness on the highway and bottoming out too easily on certain things.

    Is this a common issue ...?
    I want to go with a 2.5 with RR and DSC front and rear on my 16 TRD OR but can't afford the valving tune at this time. Should I go with king or ADS...?

    Was going Fox based on your recommendation, and in the 2.5 like stated above with the intention to have you revalve and rebuild after some use.
    Guess I'll see how it works out.
    Watched some of your videos and wish I could have you do it all right out of the box but funds won't allow it at the moment.

    Yep I know...
    Can't afford it presently as just the tuned shocks run over 3 G's and I'm getting the shocks, rear springs, uca's, cb drop kit, bushings, swaybar relocation brackets etc.... for 3,550 out the door. Well over 5 G's from accutune and I would still have to get u-bolt flip kit and bump stops.

    Our complete Stage 4 kit with 2.5's and custom tuning is $4,460 and that includes u-bolt flip and bump stops. The front coilovers include sway bar relocation.
    Our kit uses high quality parts: Icon Delta Joint, Icon RXT Pack, Upgraded High Flow Piston in the Rear, Correct hose routing and bushings in the rear, all shocks disassembled and re-tuned.
    http://accutuneoffroad.com/product/05-tacoma-mid-travel-suspension-kit-stage-4-fox/

    We can make it less expensive with Dirt King UCA's, Fox 2.0 rear shocks, and AAL.

    If so I can save a few more weeks.
