    Like Ranger said,

    Get a longer spring, but don’t drop below 650# otherwise it will sag over time. 600# springs belong on 2nd gen trucks because they have a front end which is 300lbs lighter than the 3rd gen

    Those are fine. Pretty sure you can use icon, king or fox springs also if color matters to you.

    Eibach are a very nice option. IMO

    No 12". Those are 13" that come with the shocks.

    14" will fit.

    You have to use a 14"! A 12" is too short.

    The spring on the coilover is compressed. You need to use a spring compressor to take the old one off and put a new one on.

    I use a 14" 700lb spring, but I have a steel front bumper and full armor. This is the one I used: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/EIB-14003000700S

    Had 13” 600#’s. Not to great. When fox released these they were for the 2nd gen Tacomas. 3rd gen Tacomas are heavier. A few companies actually advise you to switch them out when you purchase them. Now I’m running eibach 14” 650#’s on my fox 2.5’s. Pretty solid. But may be adding a bumper so might have to jump up to 14” 700#’s
