Better ride quality?

I have a 3" lift on my 01 tacoma for the last 40,000 miles or so and i was wondering today what were some good shocks to go with if i wanted to see if i could get a little smoother ride...i dont do intense off roading anymore but still do some light stuff and also haul my boat...currently have stock front shock and skyjacker hydro 7000 in the rear...is there anything out there that may give a slightly better ride quality?

 

So I am guessing that your 3" lift is some type of spacer lift?
New shocks will help a little, but really a new lift setup would be better as far as making the ride more comfortable.

 

yeah its a spacer in the front and blocks in the back..i bought it because it was cheap and i was on a college budget...didnt think it through back then.

Get some 5100's and new coils for the front and some 5100's and a AAL for the back you will be much happier with the ride.

 

would you suggest where to start looking into getting something like that? internet? specific dealer?

 

Toytec is good, Down south motor sports, Wheeler's off road and tons others.

I would but online you will pay a lot more at a retail store.

 

ok thanks, ill look into it and see if i can fit it into my budget, still on a college salary for a few more months haha

 

could i do either of the 5100's or the coil/aal?? or do i have to do both?

 

5100's and the coil are for the front.

the AAL is for the back i suppose you could leave the blocks in the back and get away with doing just the front if you don't have the budget for everything.

 

.....well I could certainly help you get set up with what you need and what fits your budget....

 

This is exactly the setup i'm looking for!

And how could you do that? i didnt get a chance to look into it yet but im most likely, for now, going to go with just the 5100's all around...

 

also, in replacing the front shcoks with the 5100's, would i need to remove the spacers i already have? beacuse im reading that the 5100 could add 2.5" of lift to the front
