2001 Tacoma TRD Suspension in an XJ
First off i have a 2001 XJ and the suspension is almost shot... and i would like around a 2-3" lift.
I have access to
Stock suspension from 1999 TRD Toyota Tacoma
Rear Leaf Springs
Front TRD Coils
Front Bilstein TRD Shocks
Rear Bilstein TRD Shocks
I was thinking about snagging it and "slapping" it in my Jeep.
I did some research but couldn't find any exact measurements... all i found out is that the 5100 Bilstein shocks are great but rough and okay up to 2.5" lift... and the TRD coils are progressive (so they sag quicker? i guess)
any thoughts?
thanks

not sure if anything from the Tacoma could be of any use.
to fit the leaf springs you would proly have to fab up new mounts for them since they probably arent the same length and width of XJ springs, and you have no idea how much lift they would provide, if any. for the front, the tacoma is IFS while the XJ is solid axle, and im pretty sure a tacoma coil wont fit in an XJ front suspension.

x2^ might could use the rear diff they are pretty stout all things considered plus TRD means E-locker still a lot of fab work. You could send me the rear diff for my Tacoma
