    you might also want to consider getting into a King 10" or 12" coilover to eliminate the spacer that goes between the coilover and coil bucket...

    example of an extended length King coilover on a pro comp 4" drop bracket on a 1st gen...

    3 inch lift kit is a 6 inch travel coilover...

    if ur referring to the coilovers for a 6" lift, its a 12" travel coilover...

    y'all got me confused what ur asking for...

    I`m having a procomp 6" basic kit installed , down the road I want to upgrade to front coilovers, I also want a better rear shock. So instead of using Icon`s 6"-7" coilover or having a set of kings made , my freind Dave who owns http://diabloffroad.com/ , who`s going to install the lift said the he would call racerunners, he uses them on his huge ford f350 and the said the could make a set of coilovers that would work on a tacoma with a procomp 6" kit. They could also provide rear shock and valve the for my truck. He gave me a price of $320 each for the front and $220 for the rears each and $80 each for the springs. I think shippings was like $50. Dave id good friends with the owner of http://www.oneupoffroad.com/ and racerunner makes their shocks. Anyway, I was just getting an ideal how many people liked the racerunner shocks, as it looks not many. Dave also lifted my f250 and is going to do the work on my wife`s tacoma.
