2003 Tacoma seems like it rides a little rough

Is it worth it to add new shocks if my 2003 Tacoma is riding a little rough? It’s not like driving a covered wagon or anything but custom shocks are nice but I have no idea of the cost there.

 

Shocks are a wearable item, and since the truck is pretty old now, new shocks wouldn't hurt. Any idea what shocks are on it now and how long they've been on there?

 

They would be the originals . I only have 120k on it though.

 

OK. These are what I would recommend for a most comfortable ride daily driver sort of rig.

They'll work with the stock coil and leaf springs too.

 

Smaller wheels & more sidewall on tires would help.

 

I've never had a set of shocks that performed well after 50k miles. It's way past time to get new ones.

 

Hey there! We have kits from Bilstein, Eibach and others that we can get you setup with ! Give us a shout and we can work you up some special TW pricing to get that old stuff replaced with some fresh shocks and get you riding how the truck should

 

“Worn shocks”, I.e. shocks that have lost their oil due to a failed seal, do not result in an automobile that is “riding a little rough”. Rather they result in an automobile that oscillates up and down after a bump rather than immediately returning to level. Imagine a trampoline.

 

Thanks everyone.

 

Have you bought these yet? I’m looking for rest struts as well just literally have no idea what to look for

 

Short sidewall tires are not the right stuff for a truck...............
