99 tall coils or not ?

I found some 99 tall coils so i went to count my coils and they are the same. They have no color marks on them but they count out right. What do you think? The front from the ground measure 34 1/4" the back from the ground measure 35"

My 2000 has 265/75 R16s and before my lift the bottom of the fender to the ground was 34" on all four corners. Not sure if that helps you any.

It's on 265/70 16 . I know the rear springs were replaced by toyota in 2002. Not sure about the front, I know the front is firm. I think I may go with a spacer up front to level it out.

Here's a picture from Steve for comparison:



You can see that the 99 springs have the same number of coils as the 98, they're still taller though.

Why is it that year 2000 coils are not listed in the picture? Is it supposed to be 2000-2002 instead of 2001-2002?

Lightbulb I think the last pic should have been labelled 00 - ' 02.

I got a chance to pull our 2000 next to a 2wd 2002 and it appears they sit at the same height.

Oh, well - easier for old folks to climb in.
