I keep reading threads hoping to find my situation, but there is a few things I am un :(clear on. I want to lift the front of the truck2.5 inches to level it out. I had a spring shop add a leaf and re arch the rear leafs and gained 3 inches. The truck is a 98 taco 4x4 extenda cab 3.4 v6 I have 31x10.5 mud tires on it and want 32 all terain tires. The truck needs struts bad they have ruined my front tires allready so I need to act fast. What is the best for the $$. The truck is a 100 mile a day comuter ocasionally offroaded. Your help is needed THANKS

You should look into a coilover for the front. That way you can get the height and replace that worn out spring all together.

yeah, most aftermarket fronts have 0-3'' adjustability for your truck. I know northwest offroad has at least three diff price ranges available, and they are nowhere near the cheapest.
act fast.

Are you sure your struts have ruined the front tires or is it an alignment problem. If you just need a few inches up front you could get a spacer lift. There are a few different ones to choose from. It is a spacer that sits on the top of the strut and gives you the lift. Cornfed makes one and I think Revtek. It is much MUCH MUCH cheaper than coilovers. If it were my truck I might replace the struts and then put on a spacer lift. IMO coilovers are too much money.

well the truck goes in on monday, my fabtech coilover shocks came in yesterday. looks to me like a great shock. It has a threaded body to adjust 3.5 inches lift. I allso bought rear shocks at the same time, allso fabtech.  |

cool...
but..why did you put so much into the rear end when the front had real issues?
Just wondering, not being critical.

The coilovers are for the front and I figured the rear shocks have just as many miles on them as the fronts. so might as well just do all four at the same time. The rear shock were only $120 cnd each. the tires are going to have to wait a month or two. I think I want Procomp X terrain 32x11.5

the kit is installed and is great, the truck has never rode and looked this good. Highly recomend this kit. Fabtechfts2300k with fabtech rear shocks with add a leaf. This has given me 3" in the rear 2.5" in the front.  |
