Shocks on Trd sport

Tacoma

 

depends... are you more street oriented or off road? if you like to take turns fast, sport is better equipped. if you like dirt, OR is better.

 

then get the Sport.

But I highly suggest test driving both and see how you feel. good luck.

 

Mine say Bilstein

EDIT: oh...I get what you're asking now.

 

what don't you like about your Hitachis?

 

Change em when they blow. Better yet once they blow, upgrade get some nice 5100's, add a leaf and some front lift suspension parts

 

I thought the sport was too bouncy. I prefer a softer ride. Went with TRD OR for that as well as many other reasons. In the end, wished I'd have bought the SR5 4x4.

 

I replaced all four on my 2013 PreRunner with Rancho Shocks and struts with the red boots ! Rides and handles great and better than OEMs !

 

I have the off road bilsteins for sale. They have around 3 000 miles on them. PM me. I do live in Canada, so you do have customs but than you have the exchange rate.

 

You have to replace those shocks, because...........3rd Gen.

 

The stock bilsteins are amazing either. People have reported those blowing out prematurely too.

 

If you are thinking about getting a Sport, get the SR5, the sport is a waste of money because it costs as much as the off road

This is the third gen forum....

Again, this is the third gen forum

 

Which exact parts do you recommend for the lead and the front lift suspension parts to go along with the 5100s?

 

I would look at toytec boss lift or old man emu lift kit to start. Both in my opinion a good price and good value.

 

hence the edit...

 

Changing from stock hitachi shocks to a better quality softer offroad shock will make a huge difference. Right now i have 6112/5160 bilstein combo and couldnt be happier. Much smoother now and far less busy especially on the highway.

 

What did you do with your leaf springs?

 

Not a thing yet. Have the headstrong progressive aal going in tomorrow along with SPC uca and im going to crank up the 6112 to either 3rd or 4th clip. First i was going for ride quality with the option to lift. Now im exercising that option

 

Wait ....what?

 

I drove the off road and the sport I liked how the sport felt better, most of my driving is on pavement and I can be an aggressive driver the sport seemed to fit my style better.
