    I might go the Marlin Crawler long travel once people vet their suspension. I've also thought about ADS but that's waiting till I've added everything before customising my suspension.

    For now, my suspension is honestly 90% perfect for what i need. Matt can vouch for the setup I got going.

    Edit: my slide to text is really screwing up my messages lol. I'm drinking White Claws for the first time to really immerse myself in #EAF #Overlanding :rofl:

    I do not recommend 886 coils on nitros on the front of a armored 3rd gen. After 2 years mine were down to 1/2” of lift. That is why I went kings and 700# springs. Struts themselves are still good but the coils are dead. I am going to order some (725lb 100 series LC diesel, bar work and winch) 2705 OME coils and put on them and use them when I need to do a rebuild on my kings.

    Edit: lf my kings go flat I’m going 750lb coils.

    Good to know. Mine has sagged, but it didn't start until I started putting weight on it. I think it's because the 886 was designed for the 2nd/1st gen.

    Would you say to go straight to 700lb. Springs for 3rd gens with skids and bar work?

    Also most o’reillys part stores have a wall mount spring compressor and will swap coils.

    Stock springs on a 3rd gen OR are 710lb. So yes straight to 700lb on coil overs and 2705 coils on OME.

    the 2705 is in no way recommend for a Tacoma by any manufacturer or vendor but they will fit the strut and have a higher spring rate. Use at your own risk.
