    Good job being persistent and getting it right. Glad the vendor was helpful.

    No rear locker on this one. I'll sort the VIN out when I get a breather. In the middle of trying to retire at the end of this week and have a few things of higher priority to deal with for the moment. Appreciate the guidance.

    Yeah sounds like it’s not a TRD Prerunner then just a standard taco

    I have an 09 pre runner that I am getting ready to change the coil overs. So ordered the 4600 with ome stock height coils (supposedly) from suspension
    Lifts.com. The springs are listed as moog 81074. However I found Out later moog says 81074 is only good for 05~07. It looks like they will fit my 09 prerunner but are they going to lift it? I definately don’t want a squatted truck . It was the only place I saw anything for a stock height pre runner . Any info would be appreciated . 09 pre runner access cab v6

    I’m really not sure about the next generation above My truck, I’d imagine cause it’s newer it may be more accurate. But it is for sure heavier than my old truck I’m sure so the spring was too stiff. I believe it was the spring for your generation since mine were no longer manufactured for my year truck for Oem springs. I want to say if all information was punched in correct you might be okay unlike me and my older truck.

    Tac_99,
    I put bilstein 4600's(w/coilovers) all around & don't like that the front is higher than the rear. How much has yours settled in the front? And a recent pics?
    Thanks,
    98 taco 4x4 trd v6

    Ride hight will be determined by the springs that were put on the shocks in the front.
    Here is a picture of how my truck sits now.
    It really hasn’t settled much in a couple thousand miles. At least visually
    The front does sit a little higher than the rear now as my leaf springs haven’t been changed yet but it doesn’t really look too noticeable or bad in my opinion

    I'm going through the same at the moment, they specify 81104 for the original assembled set but are currently out of stock on those and may substitute 81090's to get the order to me in time. 81090's have the exact same specs as 81104's with the exception of being .3" longer, obviously this is going to provide a half inch lift but we'll see.

    Interesting, yeah I’m pretty sure the springs I got that are supposed to be correct are still giving me a SLIGHT lift over the stock
