    more than 3", 700+ springs make for a stiff ride also

    Many threads on here about how harsh the ride is and how the lift is to tall. Search for "Pro Comp" in the suspension sub-forum (where this thread should be) and you will see.

    A 720# spring should never be sold for this truck as a lift for stock reg cabs/AC/DC. IMHO Pro Comp is crap and does a very poor job at providing the correct parts and information to people.

    Why shouldn't the springs be sold for a Tacoma?

    Not really a "lift" anyways, it's a drop bracket.

    No. They sell a 3" lift and a 6" DB lift. Totally different.

    Well spindles cost more and would require a new break line which is even more. I'm on a budget that the pro comp fits
