    hi i have a 2000 tacoma 4x4. I have bilstein hds on the front and back and 2-2.5 in spacers in the front and on the rear leafs. Does anyone know of any front coils that can get me another inch or more? i just put the shocks on so i dont really want to get 5100's.


    thanks,

    nick

    edit. I think the coils are stock, bought truck 20k ago

    You're limited by travel, so you're basically at the highest you can get it right now, without a drop bracket lift. Most of us don't like spacers though. They're not really a good way to lift the truck.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Your CV boots are already touching meaning your CV is at a severe angle. Next option is drop bracket lift kit or body lift.

    The problem is the cheapest solution will be to get 5100s. The CVs are at that angle because the suspension is maxed out. Adding a body lift won't help. And a DB lift will cost more than 5100s. You're not really at a loss taking out the spacers, those cost next to nothing anyways

    You'll need to go 5100s to bring the suspension to a "good" level first (drop it down some), then probably add a 1" body kit to get the desired height.

    and remove the spacers also right?

    here are some picture of how she sits right now. and i would be happier if i could achieve the same height plus 1 in the front without spacers. i really don't know much about suspension work
