    My 03 Tacoma 4X4 has 113K and it's time for new struts and shocks. It's my daily driver, just a street truck, all stock. I'm wondering what shocks and struts I should use? I usually put Monroe Sensa trac's on my customers cars, but I want to know what I should use on my truck.
    Thanks

    Well I don't want it to ride like a buick!

    Just wondering what the consensus here was as far as which brand I should go with. I can get Monroe or KYB wholesale, not sure about Billstien. After looking around here, seems everyone is a fan of 5100's. I've never heard of that model before.

    I don't want to lift the truck, haven't used it off road, but wouldn't mind playing around a bit. I mainly got the 4WD to deal with the WI snowy winters. And cuz it looks cool haha. Oh, and it has Firestone Destination LE tires on it, not the A/T's
