    Can anyone recommend a replacement front coil/shock for the OEM on a 2013 Tacoma TRD 4x4 6 cylinder? Can’t find much searching. Originals are Bilstein and Toyota wants $1200 EACH.
    I just replaced the rear with Bilstein 4600. I don’t off-road but I do some snow plowing.

    If you get some 3rd gen low mile take offs, those give about a 1” lift when installed on the front of a 2nd gen OffRoad. Not sure how much it adds to non-OR models.

    Thanks. I actually saw this but was skeptical. Have you used them before?

    Yep. I currently have 3rd gen TRD PRO Fox suspension on my 2015 DCSB TRD OffRoad.

    Personally no. I found a nice set from a 3rd Gen. They provide 1" of lift on the 2nd Gens. I replaced an old set that had 1" of lift so final height was the same.

    Had I not had the 1" of lift, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the ones I referenced.
