    I have a first gen Tacoma with a 4 cyl and my ome suspension feels stiff with such a light truck. I got 90004 shocks and 883 coils for a 3 inch lift. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to keep a 2-3 inch lift on the same shocks but get a softer ride with some new coils. Does anyone have any recommendations on coils I could get or some resources I could use to figure out what I’m gonna do?

    I run Bilstein 6112s front & rear. The ride isn't too bad. I do run a different upper control arm though. I don't really have any exterior modifications YET, but with that being said, the ride isn't too terrible. I know you said a 2-3 inch lift, however. This is technically a leveling kit, but I have the height and spring preload maxed out for my application. 1.5 inch lift.
