How To Convert 2.5x6” Coilovers for OEM Replacement Use (2nd Gen Tacomas)

I texted you. Jen has 14" 600lb and wants to go 700lb. Trade?

 

i want to do the defined kit with the engage bed saver cage and 16" king rr smooth bodies!

 

updated the first post.

the 1.5" bearing/misalignment spacers are for the lower shock mount ONLY. The Tacoma stock lower control arm lower shock mount spacing between the two tabs is 1.5"

The TOP plate adapter is most likely 1.25" spacing, which is the most common misalignment spacer on most shocks. CONFIRM this with the company you are buying the top plate spacers from first BEFORE buying the misalignment spacers for the top shock mount.

 

haha i found that out the hard way ^^ lol

the resi didnt work here

 

I'm pretty interested in running a set up just like this, but I have a couple of questions if someone is willing to help solidify my decision:

Does this set up still provide the lift that an Extended Travel Coil Over (Icon, King, Etc.) does?

Is there a predefined valving spec that the shock should run or is the normal valving straight from king nice? Or is it a matter of personal preference?

Do Engage, Camburg, or TC still offer the Coil Bucket Adapters for this application?

Does the suspension still bottom out on the Bumps or does it bottom on the shock?

 

Bumppp^^

 

yes you can buy a top plate from engage or camburg...i bought for for like 100 from camburg...if you need one pm me...mine was used for like 1 hour and i dont need it anymore and was trying to sell it.

 

Would you these be able to work for a first gen also?

Edit: or are there different adapters to make it work

 

Would I be able to use 2.0's for this same application?

 

I dont see it on their website and I sent an email. I think engage is out of business?

 

I think so


You can get them from camburg for around $100

 

I emailed and that guy had no clue so I included a picture from here

 

So with this setup, the final extended length is 23"??!!

Is anyone experiencing any binding? Cv joint?
