Tacoma front springs = softer ride....

I recently installed two front struts came from a 2000 4x4 tacoma. The ride quality is fantastic! It also has Bilstein shocks! tire pressure 29 psi.

Original 4runner spring has 9 and 3/4 turns and tacoma spring has 10 and 1/4 turns. Also the top rings are closer to each other in the tacoma springs than the original 4runner spring/strut.

Picture is tacoma springs in my 4runner.

So did it lift the front end at all?

When I compare the 4runner and tacoma struts side by side (outside of the truck), they both had the same height.
I think is it still the same height.

After the change, my 4runner rides better than a my car.

Hey this is great. There're fragmented bits about Taco springs/shocks in the 3rd gen, but none with pictures & ppl who've actually done'em (as far as I bothered seraching, anyways).

I've been looking to do something like this b/c I'd like to improve the ride while maintaining the ride height and handling performance.

So, how's the handling on it now vs stock?
