1st gen dbl cab 6" front suspension

I've searched high and low. Yet to find what I'm looking for. If someone knows where the info I need is located. Please paste and I'll delete this thread. I have a Tacoma that has the old tuff country 4" lift, sub frame diff drop. Rear suspension components have been updated, no more blocks or silly add a leaf kit. I cannot for the life of me find a coilovers/strut that will give me the 6" of required lift on the front to match the 4" rear. I've spoken with the brains at toytec, radflo, icon and several other places. I'm hoping someone on here has fought the same battle updating the old tuff country lift and getting rid of those insane 4" strut tower spacers. If someone has a recommendation for 6" up front and a way to get rid of the subframe I'm all ears. If long travel is my only option from here, let's hear reason and recommendations. I'm curious if finding a coilover/strut from a 2nd gen or newer Tacoma that matches my needed lengths and swapping the top hats will work? The only strut I can find is a rough country and id like to bite the bullet here and put some money into quality components as I did with rear. Currently has factory LCA with new bushings, Bilstein 5100 and ome coils that net 2" of lift, 4" strut spacer, and just installed icon UCA's (supposed to correct alignment geometry) with the delta joint. Current extended coilover length is 18-3/4" roughly and I need 23". Not sure yet what I need for collapsed length, still searching to see what my options are.

 

What is providing 4" of lift in the rear?

No experience directly, but I believe you have to use those tower spacers due to control arm limits. Even the OME+5100s technically use spacers (a ring) to provide up to 2.5" lift. You're basically looking for longer springs which equals more travel. Too much travel and you get bind or hit something

Yes, I'm looking for a coilovers or stuts that matches a length i need to get rid of the strut spacers. Was hoping someone else has battled the tuff country suspension updates, I understand the travel limitations, I'd be willing to spend some cash to do it all right, not a sas though, it's the wifes and there's no point in that lol. I can run a limit strap if absolutely needed to limit droop. The rear has a set of all pro-expeditions I believe, gave me exactly what I needed with camper shell and all. Ordered from globaloffroadsupply.com, the guy there is great but hard to get hold of sometimes.

 

Well.... Right there I suppose. I've been talking to icon for a couple weeks and they haven't once mentioned this, nor have a found it..

 

I'm reluctant to think that's the end all solution. It just looks like extended threads for more preload which is the same thing

 

Ya, I see you can set preload, but unless it's made for a lift that utilizes strut spacers it'll have to be a much longer length than preload can make up for to achieve 6". I'm just wondering if the pro comp kit uses a strut spacer as well, haven't found any info on that specific lift yet, 5 minutes of looking so far though. That's ultimately what I need though is a strut/coilovers that has an extended length of about 23" assuming the same spring weight of 550/600# which is what I think the old man emu springs are for my current coil over.
