    I have to replace the struts on my 2007 Tacoma (broke one). I would like to get the best ride as possible. I currently have a Pro Comp suspension lift. I'm unsure of exactly how much lift, due to the lift being installed prior to me purchasing the truck. There is a spacer on the front struts that is about 4 inches and 2.5"-3" blocks in the rear. Looking at the old strut I'm unable to determine what brand it is.

    **Edit** I would like to get rid of the spacer if possible.

    I have considered the Toyota 3" Lifted N3 Struts pre-loaded from Rough Country, there are certain things in the description that make me question if it will fit (i.e. - Only fits vehicle with 3 inches of lift).

    I'm looking to get opinions on if the Rough Country would work, or other options that I may have. I have search the internet for answers and keep coming up empty.

    Thanks in advance.

    If it has a 4” spacer on the front coilover. You need a new coilover that has zero lift.( assume your planning on reusing the spacer) sounds like you have procomps 4” lift kit.

    Post has been edited, I forgot to specify that I would ultimately like to get rid of the spacer.

    Call procomp. They make an extended length strut specifically for their lift kit.

    I would like to keep it in the $300 dollar range.. The truck is used as a hunting truck, with only highway miles between home and the woods. No heavy off-roading. I would keep the rear blocks so the truck would be leveled.. I just want to be able to continue running my 33's with no issue.
