Coils?

I was wondering if tacomas had coils in the front and back? or just the front or just the back. i want to put coil spacers as a lift, instead of something more expensive...

Thanks

oh brother. Tacos have coils in the front and leafs in the rear. You could go the "cheap way" and put spacers in the front and blocks in the rear, but i would never do that to my own truck.

I did you a favor and cleaned up your thread of all the non-tech posts.
Please refrain from the immature comments as that is what we call "pot-stirring."

Tacoma's have coils in the front and leafs in the rear.

I have run coil spacers on a 4Runner and the ride was less than favorable, cheap, but rough.
I would recommend waiting to save up the money to do the lift right the first time.

That's my opinion, hopefully others will post up with their opinions.

You can't just bend over and look under yours ?

You do realize that you'll need more than just spacers, blocks, shackles, etc., to lift the vehicle, correct ?

Coil spacers, in and of themselves, don't affect the ride stiffness.
They don't change the spring rate in any way.
The shocks that you changed to, most certainly can/did affect the stiffness of the ride.
