    My 2008 Tacoma's front end is tired! ( Only 270,000 miles on it ):annoyed:
    I have a Curtis snow plow that is just installed when needed.
    The Taco is sagging when the plow is one and in the raised position.
    The frame is too close to the ground in this situation.
    If this was yours how would you fix this?:notsure:
    Stock front end.
    Thanks for your input!

    Can't spell .. spell check can't either!

    New suspension. I'm sure the plow weighs a bit and it doesn't help if your still on the original factory suspension.

    I would recommend Bilstein 5100 with OME X884 coils. That will give you a 1.75 inch front end lift over stock.

    They're decently easy to install. Took me about half a day going at a slow pace.

    I'm guessing you mean tired, not tiered. If tiered, I don't know what the solution for that is...If tired, a phone call to any of the suspension vendors on TW will tell you all you need to know, especially in light of the plow setup. Give 'em a call, they are the experts...

    @HeadStrong Off-Road will be able to help you out.

    They can answer any questions that you may have, and can advise you on updating your suspension.

    I'm sure they'll chime in here and/or PM you.
