    So unfortunately my Tacoma has the 6in fabtech lift which means I have the drop bracket. I bought the truck with that already installed! I want to do more off-roading, but my shocks are shit. I just need to know what type of shocks I would be able to purchase for some good amount of wheeling and better road ride? Thank you

    IIRC Icon has a 6-7" Tacoma shock as well... but I would pair them with a rear as well for how they are valved.

    I contacted advantage tire in my area and they said I can get BDS fox 2.0 coilovers and shocks for $1895 installed. Is it worth it? does it make a good difference in off-roading and highway driving?
