    Hi,
    This is Sonny from DSM....I am not sure what torques specs you are looking for so I figured I would chime in.
    The torque specs would be the same as if you were R & R the factory strut.You should be able to get the specs from the Dealer or a Repair manual.
    As an example this what I was able to find online:
    Hope this helps..
    Have a Good weekend.
    Thanks

    Installed all 4 today! Install was very simple. I ended up with 2-3/4" lift in the front. Stiffer ride however, it hugs the road a lot better now. Waiting to do TSB in the rear. Thanks bunches DSM!

    Good Morning,

    I just made a listing on our site for the rear shocks for the Gen 2 Tacoma's.
    The Bilstein 5100 Series Rear Shock that usually come in our set of "4".
    Here is the link:
    http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-5...toyota-tacoma-pre-runner-4wd-rear-shocks.html
    Also just made a Discount Code for all of you as well:
    BIL0509R
    The code will work the same as the other codes, you will need to register on our site first and then place your order and then plug in the code and and hit checkout.
    This code is for the rear shocks only and you also have the choice to choose the shocks for 0"-1.5" Rear Lift and 3"-4" Rear Lift.
    Hope this helps and let us know if you have any questions or have any issues with using the code.
    Thank you,
    Sonny

    5100s would be a great choice, and well within your budget. They will provide 2.5 of lift up front, with out you having to buy any other parts. Most will go with a 1.5" AAL in the rear, for the truck to sit close to level.
