    im looking for a set of decent shocks for the rear of my 2013 tacoma trd sport 4x4 lifted 6 inches... i have a rough country 6"lift and want to update this rear shocks that come with it.., any suggestions ideas???

    also because the rear uses a 4inch block on top of stock springs, im considering getting the ome leaf set that lifts 2.75 and put a 1inch block on that to lesson the block size in the rear and possibly doing the same with the front by updating my stock springs to bilstien 5100s set to the 2.75 setting with a smaller block up front... is this a bad idea???

    please if your going to say no dont do it please say why and have an actual educated reason...

    Measure your exsiting shocks and order the same lenght form Doetsch Tech.
    I just got some Prerunner 8000 for the rear of my 2010. Only $45ea.
