Coilspring dilemma 1st gen 5lug

currently rebuilding my tired old suspension on my 2004 Tacoma base model 5lug 2wd and decided to buy moog springs, I order the moog 81068 set which according to moogs site are the direct replacement for my Tacoma , the springs arrive and from what I see are too long so contact rock auto and they replace them right away and send me the “correct parts” they get here again and surprise same springs , model with the same length as th others returned . my question is anybody know if aftermarket springs are longer than oem?
There seems to be 8 or 9 loops one m stock springs
Here’s a pick of one sent

I belive those are 6lug springs. Try ordering moog 81070. I think thats the right ones. Moog is kinda weird cause they list like 10 springs and dont give very good description on what they are actually for. I think acdelco it would be 45h0356, and husky springs are sc20506

 

thats one of the first things that came to mind, these are obviously for prerunner or 6lug tacos. ive made the decision to take a refund and im purchasing them oem from gunny out in camleback toyota, messing with return shipping and taking the suspension apart just to figure out the parts are not correct is a pain in the ass

 

Lol yeah working with are coils is a pain in the ass. But thing to watch for is anything for are truck should say “RWD except pre runner” if it just says rwd its for pre runners.

 

im certain Toyota will send me the right parts lol, and yes the coils at toyota do say BASE W/O PRERUNNER 4cyl

 

Sound like they will be right. If you got v6 coils you could of got a little lift from that lol

 

so the current coils received from rock auto which are for 6lug tacos fit my 04 5lug? im actually adding the daystar spacer to the coils ill receive from toyota

 

No there are different coils for 6cyl and 4 cyl tacomas. 6cyl coild are a little stiffer so they give 4cyl tacomas a slight lift. Some people say upto a inch. 6lug coils are completely different then 5lug coils

 

oh ok , how much lift do think ill get from new oem coils and the dystar spacer? i looking to a least leveling the taco too much rear rake

 

Not sure how worn out your coils are now. So not sure how much lift that will give but the spacers generally give about .5-1” of lift. Make sure to measure before and after you install it all, i would be interested to hear how much you gain.

 

ill make sure to measure and take pictures, thanks for clarifying some of my concerns about these damn coils

 

No problem man your welcome. If you got any other question don’t hesitate to ask. And if i cant figure it out ill help you research

 

whats up man, quick question, i recently purchased the moogs 81072 since going oem would cost me over 200 lol so the moog 81072 will be a direct replacement how much lift will i get? should i install the day star spacer? thnx

 

If you are a 4cyl then v6 coils will give about 1” of lift. The spacer will probably lift you another 3/4”

Just located a shop a few blocks from me that will make custom springs, longer, shorter, stiffer, softer, whatever you need. I haven't had a chance to go in and talk to them but could be a nice solution to different needs.

 

ok cool, ill probably will hold off adding the spacer since i dont want the front to be too high compared to the back
