Shock and struts whole set

Where can I find a whole set of the shock and struts for front and rear set I can take used one As well

 

You looking for stock or wanting to lift?
If you’re looking for stock just look on rockauto, they probably got ‘em pretty decent price for just oem height coilovers and rear shocks

 

It only works Oem or aftermarket I can take it too as long as it fits

 

What you're looking for is a set of coilovers (front).

A shock and coil assembly is a coilover.

Rear simply uses a shock.

Bilstein 4600's will be your friend, if you've got a 6 lug that is.

 

what is 6 lug if you dont mind enlightening it

 

than i needed set of coilovers front and rear and plus I have really bad upper ball joins.

 

It's how many lug nuts are on your wheels

 

Look at your wheels. Six lug nuts or five?

 

You have Coil springs Over shock absorbers in front as one complete assembly. In the rear you have leaf springs and shock absorbers.

Most folks will replace the front shocks with (Bilstein 4600s are a great option) and reuse the front coil spring (unless it's totally shot, which is entirely possible). The coils are a little harder to source, as finding a non-lift option is not popular. You'll need a shop to perform this work. Dealing with coil spring compressors is tricky business.

For the rear, General Springs/Doorman/Huskey all sell the same set of leaf springs. They're ok. And again you'll want a set bilstein 4600 shocks for the back.

 

it is 6 lugs here is the my tire pic passenger side wheel

 

how do i know that my front springs are in good condition is it worth replacing it or use it over the new ones once i have them.

 

man i just need some knowledge about perfect in orders so i can order correctly usually im not good at it. i want order and than go to the shop and let them to install it my plans.

 

my drum brake i need the whole set 4 of them need it indeed too.

 

Well, you're certainly in the right place to learn about these trucks.

I encourage you to do as much research about a project before ordering and getting things off to a shop to do the work. Understanding the parts, and how the work is supposed to go will really help you in the long run of vehicle ownership.

There really isn't a definitive way to determine if your current coil springs are bad. But realistically, they are a wear item, and they are 20+ years old. Replacing them is a great idea. However, like I mentioned previously, sourcing non toyota OEM equivalent coil springs is a bit tricky. There are lots of after-market options if you are looking to lift the truck, but very few outside of the Toyota OEM springs for stock height. It does look like Rock Auto has a few options, which I am sure are fine. Mevotech, Huskey, Dorman, are all OK. Probably more Tacoma's getting around on Dorman springs than OEM at this point.

I still would highly recommend the Bilstein 4600s for the front and rear shocks. For the front, you'll also need new top caps and related hardware for the shop to do the installation.

For your brakes. You need to do some more research. The front of these trucks have Rotors and Pad Disc brakes, while the rears have Drum and Shoes. So you don't need 4 drums, only two.

 

Ok thank you man what’s the difference 5100 vs 4600 biliston struts just curious. New top cabs what’s look like it. Do you think I can order those drum brakes whole set from the rock auto as you mentioned above it.

 

There are a few notable differences between the 4600 and 5100 series shocks. Mainly that the 5100 front shocks have three spring perch settings so you can lift the truck, and valving that is more suited to offroading. The 4600s are VERY close to what the TRD trucks rolled out of the factory with. If you're considering off roading then 5100 with OME 880s (coil springs) will give you a small lift (1.5"). Companies like Wheelers Offroad will even preassemble the coilover for you with a new top cap, so installation will be a breeze for the shop.



You generally order brake parts in separate components. You order front rotors, front brake pads, rear drums, and rear shoes as individual parts.

 

ohh man thank you so much that is so informative god bless you!

 

i really wanted to get a ready set 5100 can i order from rock auto or what web page do u recommend it thx

 

Eventually i really wanted to lift at least 2 and 2.5 inch if it is applicable.

 

i dont even know current lift levels on my truck yet.....
