TRD Springs need short stroke shocks?

Yes, by adding a keeper the ride height is increased. But it allows
the TRD firmer springs to be used, and the extra length puts the
standard length shocks back to their preferred operating height.

The increased ride height and firmer springs also means that the
possibility of hitting the bumpstops is much reduced, or eliminated.
Obviously the compressed length of the keeper springs is a factor,
and this would be decided when talking to the spring maker.
