    No shit. Who?

    Wish they moved from Baytown to LaPorte when I was working in DP. Would have made for a shorter drive.

    They also have offices in Texad City and Lake Jackson. They're a huge privately owned company so they have offices everywhere but those are the local ones I know about and have been to.

    Hoke is okay as well as Parker, but I'll go with Swagelok any day of the week for any application. It's what I'm using on my oil catch can. Why?

    'Cause they're free fifty free.

    They love it when I come into their office because it's a damn Black Friday shopping spree when I'm in there.

    Exactly, major reason I drive one and not a full sized. While I could get more interior room and probably close to the same milage, I don't want to deal with a full size DC!

    What is stock spring weight on the Tacoma? Trying to figure out where to set these Kings before I put them on the Taco, so I don't have to take them off again.

    Search the forum for about 2 hours and found little info on setting them up.

    Weight? probably about 30 lbs a pop :p

    technical term is "spring constant". you'll hear it referred to on here mostly as a spring "rate" however.

    stock king and fox coils are 600 lb/in. icon are 650 lb/in. not sure about sway away/camberg/etc, but i'd assume 600 as well.

    So what would the spring rate be for the coils from the factory? Basically trying to figure out where I would have to set the collar on the kings to achieve the same three inch lift achieved by the spacers. If the coil rate is different between the kings and stock coils then that will play a large part in setup.

    that i do not know. most likely less than 600 though. you also have different coils on the sport and offroad, so we have to take that into account.
