    I know the photo is not the best, but from what I can tell this is the Total Chaos UCA.

    Does anyone know if these are the stock shocks or coil overs? I'm not sure what a stock set up looks like.

    I'm looking at buying this truck but the dealer had no idea, obviously.
    Thanks!

    A few bolts are different.
    looks like a stock access cab bilstein coil over with a rev-tech lift, I say access cab because of the brown coil, its the only ones i've seen it on

    Looks to me like that is the stock spring and strut with a 3" spacer lift, and yes TC UCA's.

    think of it this way, you will be $650 ahead by already having the TC uca's

    drive a stock taco, then drive that one. see how the ride compares. spacers tend to ride stiff, but it depends on your personal preference. of course, coilovers would be bitchin under there with those TC's :cool:

    Hit the search button at the top right of the page, if you still have questions - start a thread under suspension

    I don't mean to not help - but this thread was meant for the UCA install :p

    The Brown part of the coil is a rubber sound isolator. THe TRD springs on the double cab and Extra cab modles can slap the coils when compressed. Another reason I hate Progressive rate springs for off roading. :)

    Take a Zerk from the kit down to an auto store, and get some that are close in size. They come in packs of different sizes.
