    Hi i have a 2002 Toyota lifted 9 inches, 3 inch body and a 6 inch suspension. I bought the truck like this 8 years ago and I'm about to remove the body lift next week. The truck needs new shocks and possibly coil overs and I was wondering what size shocks fit the rear and what size coilovers for the front, the dealership put new ones on before I bought it and they have no labels on them. I haven't had the time to take them off and measure and im sure one of you have the answer. Fabtech didnt make a 4 inch lift did they? if not then it must be a 6 inch 20190220_172621.jpg 20190220_172609.jpg 20190220_172555.jpg 20190220_173458.jpg

    Welcome :cheers:

    That’s the Fabtech 6” kit, no 4” I’m aware of with a drop bracket. That truck is riding high I think it looks awesome. What size tires?

    I just hate the ground clearance that the kit provides

    You should contact fabtech. They can give you the spacs and you can possibly buy some of their coil overs

    they are 35s but they are worn need new ones, truck is regeared as well and has air bags in the back that I can air up by the fuel cap for carrying heavy loads. I like the look of it but I hate seeing the frame, when I bought it at 20 i was stoked but now that I'll be 30 next year I rather have it a 3 inches lower.

    I do to, I bought the truck like this or I would of put a 4 inch non drop bracket but I'm not gonna undo the lift since it would be more costly to buy another lift and install it. I'll just remove body lift and redo the shocks n coilovers

    I agree, undoing it wouldn’t make sense, sorry to diss on your truck, that was rude of me

    Hey @Duncanyota that is a Fabtech 6" on there. The front replacement shocks are specially built by us for that lift, I don't think you will be able to find a replacement from another manufacturer. The front replacement number is
    $166 FTS70001S 6" Rear Shock for Toyota Tacoma
    FTS70001S and the rear number is FTS7267. If you still want the extended and collapsed dimensions anyways, give me a call at our tech line (909) 597-7800 and ask for Gio!

    sorry for late response but what size coil springs do the struts use or can I reuse the ones on my truck now? 191k miles not sure when lift was put on but I've put on 50k miles with it.

    @Duncanyota The springs and upper top-hats are factory components, so you can re-use the old ones for sure.
