    Hey I'm new here and just want some opinions. I have a 99 Tacoma sr5 that needs a shock replacement and I'm debating on weather or not I want/need to change the front suspension springs. After I installed my grill guard I notice it sagged a little but I'm 90% certine that's because the idiot that owned the truck before me never changed the shocks so now they have 175,000 on them and I'm just wondering if I'm actually going to notice the difference if I don't change the springs or if it would be an improvement at all verses a just in case fix. Basically seeking the advice of someone who's done this already.

    Haven't done it, but at 200k miles, your coils are certainly fatigued.

    Would replace.

    If you dont offroad and it is a stock truck, just get a monroe quick strut. Everything is replaced with new and makes the install very very easy.
