    Hello everyone! Please take it easy on me! I understand this question gets asked a lot! Although, it seems very easy to pick a kit if you want to lift your truck... I'm STRUGGLING trying to find a suspension refresh kit that doesn't lift my truck. I'm 5'1 and 85lb female, I like the stock height lol.



    I own a 2003 4x4 2.7L Access Cab, and as far as i can tell, it is at stock height! :) My truck is approaching 200,000k and the ride quality is starting to make me realize my body has jiggly spots along my hips, and i don't like it!

    I don't mind spending the extra money to replace my coils, but the moog's that people use to use for stock height have been discontinued! I cannot find a stock height coil spring that has any decent reviews.


    My research so far: Reusing my stock coil springs and purchase a set of eibach shocks for front and rear.

    or

    https://www.shocksurplus.com/produc...ing-struts-adjustable-shocks-e60-82-005-02-10

    Does anyone have any input on either one? I reached out to eibach and the sales-rep wasn't very sure of the differences, he possibly thought they were the exact same minus the adjustability.


    Does that sound like a decent plan? Any other input? I put a set of ADS that were 100% adjustable on my last truck, and I know I could run it at stock height. I just can't justify throwing 3-5k on suspension on a 10,000 truck.





    Sorry, this is getting long! Part 2: :)))
    The eibachs look like they come with the washer, bolts and bushings to mount my old coil springs on. What else do I need? Top hat? Rubber seat insulator? I see on rock auto they have shock bushings, strut mount bushings, strut rods and strut bearings??
