  1. Do you set the shock height in the front to 2.5.

    1. Out of the box, Ride Shocks Coilover’s for a Tacoma will achieve about a 1.5-2″ lift over stock, as long as you have the correct weight range for those coilovers. Depending on your truck build, you may need to adjust preload a little bit to get the lift height you want. We do supply a spanner wrench with the coilover’s to help with adjustments.

  2. Are these designed to work with your guys Deaver N98 pack? I have a set of foxs with your bump stop kit too but I’m looking to transition. I wasn’t sure if the rear shocks are designed to work best with stock leaf springs or better with aftermarket ones. I also want the truck leveled so will these shocks accommodate for that or will you guys recommend throwing on a stiffer spring, my truck is pretty much stock as far as weight except for the 33’s I have on, thanks.

    1. Yes, our Tacoma rear shocks will work great with Deaver N98 leaf pack. As long as the leaf pack it’s adequate for the amount of added weight you have, the shock SKU: 525412789 would be perfect. If you had a different leaf pack with more weight, we have an option for that as well. The front coilovers are completely adjustable and will allow you to level the truck without needing different springs. For stock 3rd Gen Tacoma’s, these are the coilovers I would suggest for your Tacoma.

  3. I recently adjusted preload but I think I went half inch more than recommended im now at 1.50″ measuring from thread. I have 600lb coil. would this affect the coil really bad ?

    1. If you have 1.5″ of thread showing on the coilovers while maintaining our target 21″ shock length, there is a good chance you may need to have heavier rate coil springs. If your shock lengths are more than 21.25″ we would recommend reducing the amount of preload you have on the coilovers to provide better performance.
