I reached out to Timbren, who told me the the actual jounce springs are both the same height at 3-3/4 inches, but the bracket height is different. So there aren't shorter springs, and the correct fit for your 2019 Toyota Tacoma 4WD is going to…

I recommend installing the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs #SSF-202-47 for your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 dually diesel. These are our lightest capacity jounce springs at a 1,800lb so they will not give you a harsher ride. The 2,500lb…

Answer 10

You could indeed use both at the same time if you cared to, as they would fit but it isn't necessary. I'd recommend going with the Timbren #TGMRCK15S only, as that kit offers 8600 lbs of capacity which is plenty. This kit isn't compatible…
