6" lift Tacoma (need suspension advice)

[TommyTaco]

Hey guys. So I purchased a truck with a 6" lift block above the front coilovers and a 3" lift block above the leaf spring.
I've got additional 300lbs of weight up front (bumper/winch). The rear has four leaf springs which seems to be stock so I believe I do not have additional lift w / leaf pack.

I've been looking into Fox 2.0 Performance coilovers and Fox 2.0 Performance rear shock w/ resevoir.

What has me puzzled.... My current rear shock is 29" extended. Fox 2.0 rear shock is advertised for a 2-3" rear lift, however, it's fully extended length is 24". Thats 5" shorter than my current shock..

I am not sure why I have such a long shock.. maybe previous owner just added a random long shock that he lad laying around?

I fear that by buying a shorter shock, I will lose down travel.

I am going to do a flex test to see if I actually utilize all of the rear shock..

Anyone on the forums know someone that has a suspension set up on a drop bracket lift?

Thanks for the help guys. And happy trails.

Cheers, Thomas

Have you looked at Tacoma World?
They have a very active forum. You just have to sort through it a bit.
