    Do all shocks have to be replaced together? Or can I switch out my rear Sport Hitachi's with Billstein 5100's?

    Yeah mgm that’s what I’m afraid of putting shocks on and can’t do a thing about the short bed.I still have my
    06 longbed sr5 and it rides good.

    All good advice here.Storm you’re right.I thought of putting 265/70/17s on it.Came with 265/65/17s.
    I think they would fit.I just hate to buy shocks and tires and still not happy.

    The common narrative here is that you must run a matched set on all corners. In my opinion, the shock dynamics between a solid, leaf-sprung rear axle, and an IFS, coil-sprung front end are so different to begin with, that mixing and matching shocks front-to-back is fine within reason.

    Yes. You can buy a set from someone who upgraded (take offs with coils) or upgrade yourself.
