    So my mom just bought a 2008 Tacoma 4x4 with a pos toytec spacer lift. I was hoping one of you might still have your top plates and whatever other stuff is needed to bring it back to stock?

    Is it the 3" one?

    I would think you can just uncompress the coil to remove the coil spacer, press out the extended strut studs and press in some new stock ones. I might have my old stock ones but for 1st Gen. Not sure if they'll fit. Shouldn't be too pricey to pick up new ones from the dealership.

    Couldn't find my old studs. Must've thrown them out with the old UCAs. Does it look like it uses these components:

    [​IMG] If so, just have to take the struts off, remove top plate spacer, take struts apart, remove coil spacer, press out extended studs, press in stock studs, reassemble.

    If it isn't, a pic will help get it identified and should be able to get a definite answer.
