    Pretty self explanatory, just trying to figure out which coil will best pair with 5100's to retain a close to factory ride quality while bringing the front end up about 1.5-2". Not sure what the factory spring rate is with the increased weight of the V8.

    Thanks in advance!

    Stock is like 550 lb/in, so maybe something in the 600 range. I run 650s on my 04 with the V6, but a shit ton of extra steel up front.

    The V8 weighs 200lbs more than the V6. Everything else is pretty much the same as the Tacoma front end

    That was my assumption, but wanted to be sure so I didn't end up having a ton of preload to achieve the ride height I'm looking for
