    Hi all

    I am replacing the struts on my 2007 Tacoma 4x4 double cab. I got a set of new struts that are from the trd package. My truck has a steel off-road bumper and winch which add a lot of weight to the front of the truck. I was wondering what springs to put on the truck. I read some other threads but none were specifically about adding stiffness to offset the extra weight.

    Also, does anyone know of a skid plate that can be used with the ko off-road bumper?

    I also found my chassis rusting from the inside between the 2 pieces. I showed it to the dealer and they said its fine. Anyone know what would be a good product to remove the rust and prep the frame before undercoat?

    Dont have a 2nd gen get but i do like old man emu springs. Tell them your set up they will sell you the right springs. Or also saw those king coilover conversion. They look like a better option but im not familiar with them.
