WTB/Borrow: Stock 05+ Tacoma Suspension

[Junior83]

I'm looking for 2005+ Tacoma Suspension. I am attempting to import a Tacoma with aftermarket suspension into Canada. In order to pass the inspection, the truck needs to be equipped with stock suspension at the time of inspection so I'll really only need the suspension for a couple of weeks. Willing to travel to pick up within BC/WA. After inspection, I plan on swapping the suspension back so I will only need the suspension temporarily. Anybody out there able to help me out? :elkgrin:

Are you talking for the Federal or Provincial inspection?
I dont know if they are much tighter in BC but here I quite literally sandbagged the truck for the federal as it is only a walk around 5 minute inspection.
The OOP however is tougher, but just find a mechanic who realizes that the truck will get lifted back right after anyways and as long as it is mechanically sound he shouldnt have an issue with it. It worked for me, see attached, I just passed my fed this week.

It seems the federals and it seems they just passed a new law for us in the past few weeks. I know of a few guys who imported lifted Silverados from California and got by just fine. What kind of lift do you have? The truck in question for me has coil-overs, UCA's and 10-pack leaf springs in the rear, not much of a lift in my mind.

So I didn't pass inspection with the suspension in place! Does anybody know of anyone in the NW (BC or WA) with a Tacoma who'd be willing to help me out for a weekend and let me use their suspension for the inspection, after that I plan on reinstalling all my parts? Either that or does anybody know of anyone who will be swapping out their stock suspension? Can anybody help me out here or have any suggestions? I've got 45 days to comply.
