Yeahhhhh. Wouldn't be the first time.

 

Another long night

 

Another early morning. Almost time for work

 

Moab is currently flooded with Colorado River fog

 

Is it just me or is there nothing shorter than an 880 but taller than oem?

 

880's only give like 1.5" of lift.

You could try one of the moog springs.

 

I don't know the numbers, because I haven't found them published anywhere, but Dobinsons has a wide variety of coils. Maybe there's something there?

'99 (and maybe '00) 4Runners also came with a slightly taller coil than other years. Again, don't know the details, but I've heard it mentioned a few places.

 

Yeah I get conflicting answers on single cabs when I search. 1.5 would be fine.

Also trying to figure out why my stockers sit so tall, when I measured it a couple months ago the fender -> hub measurement was taller than the ones I found searching around here. Maybe because of the single cab thing.

 

Worth checking out. Thanks!

 

1.5" of lift for an "average" truck though, which probably means extended cab 3.4L? A standard cab 2.7L weighs 200lbs less from the factory (source: (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/1st-generation-tacoma-curb-weight-all-models.613190/). Most of that weight is coming off the front, so us little guys will get more-than-average lift, right?

 

I feel like my front end sits high, too. I don't think my springs are original, but I think they are "OEM replacement" installed by the previous owner.

 

Headstrong lists it at 1.5" for a 4wd double cab on 880s, which is a 415 lb difference.

But, if we're sitting higher on stock springs, maybe that extra lift won't be noticed by us as much.


Maybe I should make some coffee.

 

The prize was for $46 Billion Won (Korean), which is like $38 Million in US dollars.

 

Congratulations!

 

I just googled that, but I didn’t wanna put the effort into pushing the show ignored button to prove him wrong

 

I'm interested in whatever you and your coffee find.

My 200k mile leaf springs are tired, so I've had my eye on Deaver J59 leafs for a while. I would need coils and shocks to match, and am leaning Dobinsons but haven't committed to anything yet. I talked to CrikeyMike and he recommended the C59-276 but said they'd likely give 2" lift for a standard cab/4cyl rather than the advertised 1.0-1.5". The Deavers will probably ride a bit higher than their advertised 1.5" for the same reasons so maybe it's fine?

Maybe I should start drinking coffee.

I should have included this before...

In addition to the springs on this list, I saw someone in the 2nd Gen forum (here) mention a C59-316 for their standard cab.
