    I have a stock 2019 TRD-OR, only mod is an ARE topper. A friend gifted me a pair of Dobinsons front coilovers spring C59-352 2" lift with 110-220 lbs, or 2.5" with stock weight (heavy rate) and
    $356 GS59-221 Dobinsons Pair of Front Struts Compatible with Toyota FJ Cruiser 2006-2010 and Tacoma 4x4 2005-2018 - GS59-221
    GS59-221 shocks (Twin Tube - standard coil seat height (0-2.5").

    What all is needed to pair with these? I can't really afford quality UCAs at this time. Can I get away with an AAL? Do I even need one? What do I do about rear shocks?


    95% daily driver, as I use the 4R for most offroading.

    Thanks for the response, seems like it's definitely out of my reach at this time. He said he just wanted them out of his garage, so I'll just hold off for now.

    Another possible drawback to those springs is that they are 730 lb/in. If you are looking for a plusher ride quality with stock truck weight, those are not going to help. For comparable sake, I have 600 lb/in springs.
