4 link rear suspension

I have a 2000 4×4 Tacoma with leaf springs and shocks in the rear. The leafs are very worn because the truck was not taken care of when I got it. The shocks are cracked and will need replaced and the leafs aren't far behind them. I was wondering if I should replace with new leaf springs and shocks or upgrade to a 4 link coilover. I know how to install both kinds of suspension but which would be better.

 

Better is subjective. What do you plan on doing with the truck.

 

4 link rear and IFS front??

 

Plug and play right?

 

I think you meant "bolt on". ?? or he's thinking "bolt on"

 

This truck is planned to more of a street racing and good handling vehicle.

 

The rear end will cost more than the value of the truck.

 

Yes to 4 link it'll be b*tchin

 

oooh, street racing...gotcha

 

Bought a tacoma to race civics

 

Ok, bring a ranger to a Toyota fight

 

Essentially I'm asking if the 4 li k will be worth the extra money

 

Upgrade the stock suspension with better versions first, then work on the go fast parts . You want the rear stiff and planted. Not linked.

 

Has anyone done a trailing arm set-up an a Taco?

Not on a 100% stock truck. 2 subwoofers isnt enough to need a suspension change.

 

OP 4 link is good for offroad. Which most these guys are referring to. There is a smaller 4 link setup that is accompanied with air bags and notching the frame. More for show not street racing.

With the leaf spring setup youd be better off with a spring under axle setup with trac bars to eliminate wheel hop

 

For better "street racing and better handling"? Do you own a S-Runner?
