    Like new, adjustable ToyTec coilovers, these are for a 2nd generation (2005-2014) Tacomas or 4th generation (2003-2009) 4Runners. Adjustable up to 3" of lift. These are in great shape and only have about 7,000 miles on them. I installed them new earlier this year but I have changed my setup and no longer need these. I'm asking $800.00 shipped, but I will work on price for local pickup. These are about $950 shipped with the silver Eibach spring upgrade from Toytec. I might be interested in trades for good 285/75-16's or aftermarket Tacoma parts.

    be careful with 285 size tires. When I purchased my Tacoma Double cab used it had 285's on it and it had some pretty good axle wrap upon acceleration. They also rubbed in the front and I have the 3 inch coil spacer in the front. I swapped the 265's that I had on my 4Runner before I left the dealership. Believe me, i would love to have the larger tires but when I go off road it would only be a matter of time before I damage a fender or just got sick of the axle wrap.

    :confused: Axle wrap has nothing to do with the tire size and everything to do with the spacer lift. And, depending on wheel offset, there is little to no trimming needed to clear 285's on the front. Free advice and a free bump....

    I may be interested. What is the lift amount when the coil over is totally unloaded?

    Per website, they offer 1-3" of lift. Hope that helps. Open to offers.

    Is that from the spring alone, 1"? so to get 3" you need 2" of preload?

    I don't know the specifics on where the percentage of lift comes from. I say the initial 1" comes from the top plate the the rest comes from adjusting/loading the spring.

    I forget the ratio or compression to actual height but I know on my kings two threads equals about a half inch of lift.

    Per ToyTec they are 600lb springs. The silver coils were just an option. I think it's a $40 upgrade from the red. I personally liked the silver better, so that's what I ordered.

    Weekend price drop, $750 shipped. I just purchased an extra set of swaybar relocation brackets so I can throw those in too.

    Well I'm not going to call you slow, but "NO" they are not. The ones sold for $599 are only adjusted by repositioning the clips on the 5100's and you only have three choices for height adjustment. You have to completely dissassemble the spring/shock in order to adjust. Mine are coilovers, they are fully adjustable due to the threaded collars, they don't have to be broken down or even removed from the truck. ToyTec sells these (with silver coils) for 859.99 plus shipping.

    But hey, thanks for the free "bump!"

    Thanks for the clear up. I should just privare message you, but will show my dumbness even more now. How easy would it be for me a total rookie at suspension, but not afraid to use tools to install your set up? I dont have to worry about having the coil compressed right? This is a total replacement? I have a 2011 Sport Dbl cab with the rear TSB. I hate paying shops to do anything. Very interested in possibly throwing you the cash for this. Thanks!

    No worries, we all learn some where. I'm still learning myself. These are a full replacement, no spring compressor needed. With the right tools, jack stands and patience, you could have these swapped in within 2-3hrs on your first time. You get faster and learn new tricks as you go. Feel free to PM me your number if you want and I'll talk you through any specific questions you have. Thanks,

    free bump. Does these include the spanner wrenches ? I know these usually are preset from toytec at 2.5" which is what I left mine at and the ride quality is exceptional. You can DIY, not too bad using basic tools. It's been awhile but I do remember getting them in required a long crow bar and a buddy's leg to pry down the UCA to get the lower shock mount in place.
