    Going to level my truck and want to rebuild my shocks while I"m at it. Anybody know if I need coil spring Isolators? And if I do, where do I get them? Can't seem to find any info on them, other than 1st gen. Tacoma.

    For our trucks use Aluminum top plate spacers. They come in 1/4" to 3/4" but the larger sizes require longer studs. You can get them at Wheelers Offroad or Headstrong Offroad.

    @Doughnut Spaghetti This thread should be in the suspension forum not the marketplace. You'll get more helpful info there.

    No worries. I think an admin can move it but not sure how to. I see some people change the titles. But it also may just get closed

    Couldn't find these earlier. BUt there are also there are a couple poly isolators to do lift but metal ones seem to be preferred.

    Coil spring isolators are insulators. They prevent the metal on metal contact between the spring and top hat. ToyTec sells them.

    Looks like KYB makes a kit that has the top hats and spring isolators, and all the bushings and nuts. I think I'm going to go that route.
