I have an 05 Tacoma Reg. cab 4x4. I have installed an ARB bumper with a Warn M8000 winch in front and a Tiregate Prerunner tailgate with an extra spare in the rear. I would like to beef up the suspension system without lifting the truck in order to compensate for all this added weight and any additional equipment I will be carrying, including motorcycles. I have been looking at Sway-A-Way Racerunner 2.5" coilovers and rear shocks in order to accomplish this. Can anyone suggest any alternatives or comment on personal experience along these same lines? Any help would be appreciated. This truck is not for mud or crawling, strictly remote dirt roads and primitive fire road and trail stuff in US and Mexican desert.

Thank you.
Mike

 

Mike,
I have a set of 2.5'' racerunners and camburg uca's on my 98 taco, I just installed them last month. I was previously running a 2.5'' spacer lift with stock springs and i must say that the ride with the racerunners is way stiffer. when hitting small to moderate bumps on road it feels as if the suspension barly gives at all, but on large bums or whoops it performs way better than stock. I still have mixed feelings about them... they look bad ass but they are still a little to stiff for me. hope this helps.
