I got a 2017 Tacoma that I'm using as a college pickup. Wish I would have found a manual but the 2.7 Auto is alright ( 22RE is what I'm used to in a small pickup). The biggest annoyance that I've had with this pickup is that it doesn't stay in 6th gear on the highway too well. The previous owner put a lift and large tires and I'm guessing that's making the problem much worse. I don't need the lift and I would actually like to use my bed for work. Returning the rear back to factory ride height seems simple enough but the front seems more difficult.
The left pic is my front coil spring while the right pic is of another Tacoma's coil spring I saw in a parking lot:
It looks I'll have to track down a rubber grommet and some other parts but other than that it doesn't look like he put on different shocks or other parts. Will taking off a coil spring mess up the alignment? Is it something that requires a lift or can it safely be done in a garage?
Maybe its not worth messing with but gaining a few MPG and people not thinking I'm a D-Bag seems worth it to me. Thanks
