    6inch lift sitting on bilstein coilovers. Lexus is300 studs in front to keep stock wheels, general grabber red letters, nfab front bumper.
    I posted the same question in the 2nd gen forum. I have a 2012 Baja with a fabtech 6 inch lift. Does anybody know of a front set of coilovers that are the same length as my current coilover with the spacer? It's about 27 inches from the eyelet at the lower control arm to the frame. Also is there a leaf pack that will still give me 6 inches of lift and tilt my rear diff up to keep the pinion angle the same? I've looked to no avail. Much appreciated!! I'm sure I can't be the only one that has wanted to do this

    ...too much shit to list.
    King make coilovers for drop bracket lifts like fabtech. Basically it just has an extended rod end.

    Leaf packs can be done, but they are all custom packs. Angle finder and the right degree shims will put your driveline angles back in check.

    Any idea who makes the custom leaf packs or where to find the proper shims. All I can find are shims for bigger rear ends like for f350s

    Deaver and Alcan both will make custom packs for you.
    @ToyTec Lifts sells several different degree shims specific for tacoma leaf packs (which are narrower than full sized packs).

    Got a part number for the front coilovers? Or will those have to be custom made as well?

    Hey, we do have many axle shims available that should work with no issues for your lift. We also can get you Kings or Icon for the 6 inch lift that you have. We do have the part numbers and can order them directly from the manufacturer although it may take a couple weeks. We can get custom length shocks if thats what you are looking for as well.
    Let me know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks

    I remember having 6 inch fabtech lift on my 1st gen double cab taco. When I got on the forums I immediately swapped everything out except the front cross member. I went with sway away coilovers at 27 inches like you did, custom deaver rear pack, and some Bilstein shocks at the time. Damn if it wasn't a whole new truck after that.

    Toytec lift is definitely getting my business. Guy knows his shit and I'm looking forward to having the king coilovers and rear shocks. I have the fox coilovers on my yxz1000 and those things are sublime off-road. My fiancé flies down the trail with the yxz while I'm in the rear with the gear in my truck bouncing over obstacles because the suspension is rock solid.

    Naw I don't...sold the truck off a while back. My second gen has a completely different build unfortunately. I think with your set up though you cant go wrong. I got kings front and rear on mine, hands down the best upgrade in my truck.

    Oh yea man, mine felt like a Jeep with a brick ass to it before. After it felt pretty cushy. I have deaver springs in my truck now, they def have a nice plush feel to them. You will notice quite a difference I bet.
