Perfect
Was wanting to level my truck but also needed to replace the struts. Found the perfect solution.

Lift for good price
Gave me roughly 2.25 of lift. Sits level with my add a leaf. It’s rides stiffer than stock but it feels fine, I did install myself along with a new cv axle took about 4 hours. I was worried it would lift higher since I have a 4 cylinder regular cab but it was just a little extra

Important to note this kit gives 3″ for a Tacoma 2nd Gen Access Cab
For the price, this is a solid kit. The beauty of these is that the front strut comes fully assembled so you drop out the existing stuff and bolt this up. They are pretty beefy units and seem well built. I opted for these over the Bilstein 5100’s for the ease of install (5100’s need the coil to be disassembled, strut assembly put back together, etc and I was also on the original coils with 200k miles). However, do note I gained a solid 3″ of height on my ’07 Tacoma Access Cab. My belief is that the 2″ listing assumes a 3rd gen which are already 1″ higher from the factory in front than a 2nd gen.As far as the ride, its good. Not soft like the TRD Off Road its more of a TRD Sport type setup. Handles larger dips and humps very well, can be a bit firm on smaller stuff but not overly jarring. Overall, I’d recommend if you need/want to remove your coils and have a rather straightforward bolt on kit but just note the height expectations when buying. If you do want to keep your coils, the 5100’s are an excellent choice.

Do your research first!
Incomplete instructions for a DIY install. It can be done but consult a Toyota tech first. Many issues to be aware of that are not addressed in the instructions. Have two floor jacks ready, and prepare to be sore for a few days after…

Great shocks, Great Ride, but sit a little lower
These look great and outweigh the OEM shock by several pounds each. The ride of my pickup is noticeably improved. The height matches up perfectly on the shop floor, but when installed, my pickup now sits 3/4″ lower in the front. I’m not sure if they are softer (i.e. compress more) or if something else is going on, but my tires now rub slightly when making a hard turn with the vehicle heavily loaded.
