    I would get the adjusters, on the dunes for the fast stuff you have to crank up the high speed and turn down the low speed.
    For trails I leave the low speed and give it a few click of high speed.
    So it's nice to have the adjustment.

    For the people who are running tundra shocks in the rear, what do I need to do to run them? How much of a pain is it to run them? How much do I need to raise my rear to run them?
    Thanks

    Can confirm. You also have to swap out the eyelet sleeves on the bottom. The ones for the Tundra are 1/4" too wide for the Tacoma. If you get them from Accutune they actually do the full conversion for you. I'm running the Tundra rears.

    Whichever you get I would highly recommend getting a ball joint because they're sealed and won't rust.

    Hey guys! I have the 2.5 dsc all around with ome medium dakars. I am getting some bouncing forward and backward when coming to a hard stop. Is this normal? is stiffened them up a bit and it seemed to help a little bit? also the eyelit on the bottom of the coilovers are rubbing on the LCA, anybody have this issue? Any help is appreciated! Fox does not respond to my emails....

    Looks like a Gen2.5 TRD Sport, but really an '08 TRD OffRoad

    For 2nd Gens,

    The coilover bottom eyelet sleeve/bushing is offset with the wider part pointing to the front of the truck. Is that how it looks for you?

    I also have medium dakars with 2.5RR and adjustable 2.0s in the rear. I havent felt any rocking movement when coming to a stop. I did find the rear to be excessively bouncy when set to the softest setting (as expected) and no load in the bed.

    You can raise the firmness of the shocks. Keep adjusting until you hit a good spot for your liking.

    I'm in the same situation as you, 2.5 dsc all around. I get the front and back bouncing and the drivers side eyelet is rubbing. I think I just need to reset the clickers and tune them properly.

    has anyone seen front shock failures for the TRD kit or the 2.0's, especially early in life?

    i am having an alignment problem. the numbers are correct but the pull to the right is nuts all the sudden. the next diagnostic consideration is a shock failure on one side..
    just wondering if that's been seen before with any frequency?
