    I need shock and coil spring recommendations on my 2007 tacoma sport 4x4 it has a 6in Fabtech DB lift kit with the 6in spacer. I have a ARB bumper up front and NO winch and don’t plan on getting one. The only extra weight that would affect the front is the ARB bumper and sliders in the future. I can’t afford full length coil overs so that’s out of the question so what would you guys recommend for essentially stock height coils and springs to go with my 6in spacer up front and something that can support the bit of extra weight up front. I’m sagging quite a bit.

    Post this question in this thread below and someone may help you out as there are quite a few guys running heavy armor and 6" DB lifts in there:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/fabtech-procomp-6-lift-or-more-pictures.43093/

    So in your application the right way to do it on budget is to ditch spacers and stock struts and get RCD Bilstein 5100s which raise your perch height 4.5" so if you were to run a stock spring on these RCD shocks you would be @ 4.5" lift. From there you're going to want to select an applicable Coil for the weight and to achieve the desired lift height. So like in my Application I am running an RCD 5100 with an Eibach 620 coil (1.6" lift at a rate of 620lb each spring). This may be good for your setup without a winch, skids, etc or may not as I know the ARB is quite heavy. I would ask some of the guys in the 6" thread with similar setups to yourself. Best of luck.
