Hello!
I recently bought a 1999 Tacoma. It's my first 4x4. I need to replace shocks. Looking on EBay there is a multitude of choices/pricing. Any brand or type recommendations?
Thanks to all.

Welcome to TW!

Bilstein 5100's are very popular, but there are lots of good choices. A ton of people are running the 5100's though, especially up front. This is what I plan to do when I replace my shocks in the spring. Check out either the 1st Gen or the Suspension threads to get ideas and to see what others have done.

Also, any pics of the new truck?
