I just bought a 2000 Tacoma 2.7 4x4 reg. cab, i really like the truck my only problem is the front end seems to sag a little, it has a ARB bumper which im sure is why its sagging. What can i do to help this problem, this is my daily driver and i want to handle good still. Im thinking of getting some OME springs but what kind should i get? Can i use those with factory shocks? Also would putting stock springs off a 3.4 tacoma help are the stiffer? thanks

 

Well.. It doesn't sound like you want to lift it.. If so I'd recommend OME 882's,
You can go with some 881's and probably be back to stock height.

You shocks are probably worn too, so just buy some OME shocks while your doing the whole thing.

 

could I use other brands of shocks, like less expensive ones?

 

Could you? Sure.
Is it recommended? No.
The valving in all of the other shocks is not going to match the spring rate of the OME springs.

Do it once, do it right.

 

I would go with the 883 over the 882s. The 883s give you almost as much lift as the 882s but they have a higher spring rate and won't sag like the 882s tend to.

On a single cab trying to get back to stock height??

 

has anyone had experience with the Daystar leveling kits?

 

Don't use a spacer.

REPLACE THE SPRINGS AND SHOCKS!

 

scuba is all over this one.. i was gonna chime in but looks like you got it all under control!

 

Im probably going to go the OME spring and shock route, now which should i get 882 or 883s, also what is a good place to buy them?

 

check out NWOR's website, they have some shnazzy 'racing' suspension and a luxury ride suspension for front and rear; they do add about 2.75" up front but they claim they are 0-3" adjustable; I plan on buying the racing suspension for mine and trying them out as I don't want much if any lift, the guys I talked to at NWOR seemed to know a good deal about their stuff, worth a call. Might be too much for you but it will take care of any sag and improve handling quite a bit for sure.

yeah, NO spacers... and get new shocks!! bilsteins have a proven reputation; $300 bones for 4.

OME might be the route I go in the end though...

 

I'm surprised nobody has suggested you to crank your torsion bars yet hahaha...

 

882's are going to be 2" over stock height with the ARB after settling.

Prepared to lift the rear too?
Buy from Gooverland or Wheelersoffroad

 

Im not really wanting to lift the whole truck, just wanting it to sit level.
