Suspension upgrade 2nd gen taco

Can i run 5100s in the front and OME leaf springs in the back and keep stock length shock or do I need to run a longer one?

 

Welcome to tacomaworld..suspension is one of the most asked questions..along with largest tire size threads...
The good part of that is....there is Rediculous amounts of great info covering these kinda topics.

Check out the 2nd gen suspention threads..
Lots of useful information reading through some of the sticky threads..

(Top left hand corner of your screen has a drop down menu)

Sometimes I will just google search by typing tacomaworld.com before the question I have.


Also marie @HeadStrong Off-Road can set you up with the right set up. . especially if you don't want to do alot of research.

 

Well it’s a two part answer, yes and no. No you don’t “need” to but if you can and most likely will over extend the shocks and break them. So the right answer is to pair the leaf springs with the correct length shock.

 

ome leaf springs will deeeeestroy a stock length shock. my 2" AAl killed mine.

 

Right on, well thanks for the answer was just curious how to go about things.
