    My front strut bushings are shot and I need to get new lifting coil-overs anyway. I have been looking at the camburg coils that lift up to 3". I have a "3inch" spacer on my stock coils but I don't believe that it truly lifted it 3 inches. Maybe it is just that they are 18 years old and a little saggy but i can't say for sure.

    What do you guys recommend for a true 3" lift? I have Camburg UCA's already. I can't afford ICONS or anything in that range but I am around $1000, preferably a bit lower. If anyone that runs the camburg's could chime in i'd appreciate it.

    I'll post a picture tomorrow. I think I'd rather not mess with front end suspension myself and just get new coilovers although yes, I'm sure they are rebuildable.

    I should've been clear, I meant do you want rebuildable suspension.
    The Sway-a-ways are rebuildable, where as the coil overs with the Toytec BOSS suspension are not rebuildable.

    Not to thread jack, but I plan on going with Kings in the future. What length for the 01-04 tacos? Hoping to find some used on race-dezert, OP should check out the classifieds. There's always stuff coming up on there

    Unless you're going to do high speed stuff, my favorite choice would be a Toytec build your own coilover using the Toytec collars and Tundra 5100s. You can get that setup for around $600 and get a lot of travel. For high speed, you might want to invest in fancier shocks but for crawling its not really worth the extra money.
