Just got some Tokico Blue Struts

So, when scavenging ebay, I came across a guy parting out an 03 double cab. Turns out he was selling the struts and shocks off of it for 60+20 shipping. After asking a few questions, I found out they are in perfect working condition, 25,000 miles on em, and he was willing to sell the struts seperately. So I'm a proud new owner of some Tokico blue TRD struts. Now comes finding some tundra coils. Any ideas where I can get some used?

Are you saying you just got the shocks ? If so, I want the springs.

I have some Tacoma springs that I could sell you, I just wanted the struts, but I had to buy everything.

I got the struts, he still has the shocks to sell, and I'm looking for the Tundra coils for the front

ummmm... why? they're softer spring rate and aren't as tall as stock 4runner front coils.

Really!

I heard the Double Cab coils were progressive rate and stiffer. (?!)

Yeah, I made the mistake of using Reg Cab, Non-TRD Taco springs right now. I was aiming for the lowest height possible with my TM lift, (softest too), but, the top three turns of the coils are touching, and I am hitting my bumpstops way too much.

Waizoc...Im confused on what exactly you have. My definitions are:

Strut: Coil and Shock assembly
Shock: Just the shock on the inside
Coil: The coil on the outside

Im looking strictly for some springs, but, if Bamachem is right (and Im assuming he is), maybe I should pass and wait for some stock 4runner coils

or get some stock NON-TRD 2wd Tundra coils - they're pretty much the same as stock 4runner coils but just a hair stiffer.

Well, what I have right now is by your definition the Shock, but didnt want to get it confused with the rear shocks, so I called it a strut. your Strut definition I refer to as the Strut Assembly. But with that asside, If I can find some TRD tundra coils I would sell you my stock springs

you're wanting just the front coils right? not the whole strut assembly? Because I can sell you the rears too as soon as I get my OME's on

What does the part number say on the black sleeve of your struts?
