Hybrid springs on a non-hybrid?

[rybern]

Has anyone done this? I found some locally that I can purchase for $40 but I'd love to know of someone has some experience with this first. I realize it won't make much sense if your paying someone to do it.

But putting OEM springs on the truck should lift the front a little and would obviously be OEM.

The hybrid trucks sit higher than the non-hybrids due to slightly different springs. I wonder if the hybrid springs might give as much as a 1" front lift.

Bringing up an old thread.

I hadn't thought of doing this but would like to see if it works as a factory option for a small lift.

I ended up going with All Dogs Offroad springs front and rear because it was predictable. I still think the hybrid spring will work and if someone can get them cheap enough, its probably a good option for a mild 1" lift.

After speaking with John at accutune, this was his recommendation. Going to be looking for a set now.

Ok... The problem is there are a million part numbers for tacoma rear springs. Literally 36 different part numbers?

Here's a few of them:
Toyota Genuine #48231-AK080
Toyota Genuine #48231-AK250
Toyota Genuine #48231-AK290
Toyota Genuine #48231-AK040
Toyota Genuine #48231-AK051
Toyota Genuine #48231-AK070
Toyota Genuine #48231-AK111

I guess this just illustrates how terrible toyota parts websites are. This one in particular appears to be for a corolla cross, yet for some reason multiple toyota parts websites will say its an exact fit for a 2025 tacoma hybrid: Toyota Genuine #48231-AK290
