The Toyota Tacoma I picked up recently was still rolling the oem TRD off-road package suspension that the truck was delivered with a couple hundred thousand miles and two decades ago.
At some point a set of ride rite air bags were installed on the rear, probably to deal with sagging rear leaf springs. The bags are fine if you’re loading/towing all the time but otherwise severely limit suspension travel and don’t really deliver a great ride. The front coil overs were shot and the front end was hanging low and the dampening nearly nonexistent.
anywho, looking at options for something that will be a great all around solution, I decided to go with a full suspension kit that would yield about a 2 inch lift in the process. ARB OME suspension kit:
New leafs, shackles, bushings,u-bolts, rear shocks, front coil overs, exhaust relocation bracket and brake proportioning reloc bracket
The old shit that came out:
