Question Have question on rear springs "lift issue"
My 2000 4R w/133k had a pretty bad case of the rear sags.....so I bought and installed the Performance Products "progressive rate rear springs". After installing them....they don't seem too "progressive"! The rear end is sitting up pretty high....kinda looks like my old 63 Chevy in high school when I had air shocks!!!.
So.....My question for you guys is who has or where can I buy a lift for the front that is only an inch or inch and a half to bring it back to level? Also...I need new front shocks.....I think they are original!! Will new shocks alone lift the front back up a bit? If so, who's got the best deal on front Bilstein's?
Thanks!

Fellow Ohioan,
Shocks will not lift the front by themselves so you will definately need to look at some lift options.

If this truck does not see much off-road time at all, then I would look into some spacers for the front. These can be had on ebay in various lift sizes for very affordable. You can also find these as well as other options at www.toyteclifts.com. If you are planning of off-road the truck then I would go ahead and replace the springs and do the shocks while you are down there.

!
Are you thinking that the coils being progressive (rather than constant) has something to do with the ride height? Progressive rate is just how it handles loads.
