rear shocks for 2006 2WD Tacoma

Hello -

I am looking for new rear shocks for my 2006 RWD extended cab Tacoma. I use it as a contractor so I carry a lot of weight in the back all the time. I am looking for a recommendation for a good heavy duty shock.

Thanks!

 

Shocks control springs, they don't 'handle load'.

Upgrading your capacity either with new spring packs, helper springs or air bags would make a huge difference.

To review those choices, and shocks that would be complimentary to the spring decision, call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road

 

Bilstien 5100 will do just fine if you don't want to replace the leaf springs. I would also recommend some firestone ride rite air bags.

 

I don't carry a huge amount of weight, and am aware the leaf springs hold the weight. I have heard of heavy duty shocks but am unsure what they are. Basically I want a good stock replacement shock, nothing fancy.

 

Bilstien 4600 are what come on the trd models

 

Are Bilstiens more meant for off-road use? I never drive off road.

 

They are good for everyday driving, doesn't matter what on or where. Unless you want to be cheap then get some Monroe shocks from AutoZone

 

Thank you @Clearwater Bill
