    I'm waiting for the frame replacement on my 06 TRD. I know it needs front struts, I'm considering letting them do it while they have it. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and replace the coils also? 06 access cab with 151k. Will the stock coils from a 15 TRD OR fit my 06? I found the coils for a good price, thinking about mounting them in Bilstein 5100's and letting the dealership install while they have it. Thoughts???

    Yes, the coils will fit.

    I would definitely do it, it’ll save you labor, time and money! When they were inspecting my frame, I thought of replacing all the bushings, shocks, etc while it was apart. They ended up not replacing my frame :(

    I'm going to have my frame inspected after this winter and it will hopefully fail. I'm planning on buying strut assemblies from headstrong with the 883 coils and billy shocks.

    Kingston I thought about doing exactly what you are going to do. I decided to go with pull offs from a gen 3 OR truck. I qualify for the replacement leaf pack on the rear. After reading a lot on the forum it looks like a lot of guys are getting these takeoff's cheap and enjoying the ride. Rick
