Ive got 240,000 miles on my first gen. Still have the original front struts. Probably due for a replacement. Which ones will give me the smoothest ride? 100% on road driving and I don't want any lift. Thanks, Brian.

Just replaced mine with KYB struts front and KYB shocks in the rear made a difference. Still rides like a Tacoma but smoother.

I used Monroe quick struts because I was broke. Got about 5000 miles on them, still holding up. Stock height, ride fine. Pretty sure they are sort of junky though.
