Old Man Emu Rear Lift Coils Springs (200 Series) installed on 4G Tacoma

Yeah - RATS. That's just the plug for the threads where the bump stops screw in. Bummer. At least we know we can go get them if we like, but I'm not planning on jumping my TH any time soon.

My TH hauls ass. Keep it light and she’ll full-send. Drove sport mode last week, got a 250# GFC camper on the back couldn’t even tell I was carrying weight. I’m tempted to get those bumps. I went with the TH because I needed a 6’ bed for the money - and the air ride seats were too Gucci for me. Still shocked some of the parts like the TH wheels are lighter than the TRD Pros..

I also went with the TH for the 6' bed. in Canada that's the only way it comes. My requirements were hybrid powertrain (for maximum power of course), 6' bed for hauling "stuff", and a reasonable complement of off road goodies to get me to my fishing and hunting spots (and back home too).

The TH was the only configuration in the TOyota lineup that checked all those boxes. I think you can get the Off Road in a hybrid with a 6' box in the US, but it's not available in Canada or that's what I would have bought. Love the 'Hunter.

So I needed a solution. On the shop TRD Sport, I put some helper airbags inside the coils, and that worked great (Air Lift Part 60924, had to fab some upper plates to block off the holes in the top of the coil mounts.)

Very interested in the Air Lift install and custom bracket for my SR5

I think that is just the top hat that is ready for the bump? The Fox bump itself looks like mine below. That said, having that blank top hat means you may be able to pull that plastic plug and use that top hat for your airbag. Just run the air line through the hole the bump is supposed to go in.

I want to add the hydraulic bump stops to my TH. I cannot and neither can the Toyota parts department find the part number. If anyone can help that would be so greatly appreciated

Which wheels are these?

I installed the Westcott designs lift on my Pro this week with the rear spacer. It was pretty level with just my bed slide, fridge, and our rear bumper. Spare tire wasn't under the bed however. This is how it looked with that setup.

With a carrier and a 35" tire hanging off the back however, the rear was low maybe an inch. Was also pretty soft just driving around:

So I needed a solution. On the shop TRD Sport, I put some helper airbags inside the coils, and that worked great (Air Lift Part 60924, had to fab some upper plates to block off the holes in the top of the coil mounts.) But that wasn't going to work with the Pro's air bumps. So I dug around in our coil pile at Victory 4x4 and found some OME 200 Series rear coils that were the right diameter in the seat and body. Slapped em in (no Wescott spacer,) and it was perfect. Good height, a little firmer ride, plus way more static load capacity. Win, win win.

Here is how it sits on OME 2721s. Longer springs on the passenger side:

I still need to double-check the coil bind and maybe add a bump spacer if that's an issue.

Hope this helps! The best part is that there are 6 options for the 200 Series application, so you should be able to find what you need (data from Toytec.)

I'm curious what the hub to fender measurement is with little to no weight in the box with the 2721's. My goal is get a heavier rear spring without too much lift, which has me considering the 2720's (-0.75"). did you happen to measure it without any weight?
