    The pic of the spring came out good but I was hoping to see what you were talking about mounted on the truck?

    OME all around. SPC UCA. This and that.
    I agree this really does need to be in the Hawaii section. I lived there for 3 years and three months. I know this belongs in the Hawaii section. Great suggestion.

    Pretty please with ARB Locker on top.

    How about some photos of the truck with the springs you are talking about? A couple of diagrams and a coil spring leaning in a corner don't back up your claims like an actual photo of your truck and said springs would.

    He posted same time as you above...too dark for actual pics right now.

    Street: So your original question is why does the front of your truck have coils (or did you mean coilovers) rather than struts, am I correct?

    Lol dude, your right. You want to go bigger? Get a bigger coil spring and a higher spring rate. Hell, just find some big ass springs and throw em under there.

    Holy cow I can't take it anymore.

    Do your coils have shocks inside of them or not?

    They should

    The pre runner spring will not fit, it's too long and will throw the geometry off and probably cause a wreck.

    No one said the 6 lugs don't have coils. We said they don't have struts. You need to do a lot of research to try and learn about the difference between a strut and a coilover.
