    If I had a oem fox coilover take-off, I'd give it to you, but I only have standard oe tacoma coils in the scrap bin.

    I have some king coils in stock, but they are probably too heavy. I could order in some coils for you. Probably 550 or 600lb. I'm not sure what those coils length or rate are if I'm honest.

    Otherwise we have upgraded suspension on the shelf if that's helpful.

    Fox uses Swift coil springs. Figure out the ID, spring length, and compression ratio.

    Thanks for the info. Currently trying to decide between ordering the eibach lift springs with a 1inch block in the rear or upgrade to elka 2.5 remotes. Long term I was planning to upgrade to the elkas but there's nothing really wrong with the fox's.

    Thanks, it's one of the options I've been considering.

    If you’re considering Elka, you ought to look into Bilstein 8112’s and 8100’s for the rear. They don’t need to be rebuilt as often as Elka, King, Fox, or most other coilovers as long as you’re not pouncing on em’. To go the full 3” just need the Ekstrom 1/2” spacer on the drivers side (for the taco lean) and 1/4” spacer on the passenger side. The bilsteins run super plush off road for crawls, fast washboards, what ever you throw at them. Plush over bumps, potholes, yet thru their valving ride firmer around the curves on mountain roads.

    There is a set of Fox pro springs takeoffs in B/S/T right now.

    I believe I read that Eibach makes these springs for Fox. I would see if Eibach could help you.
