    I have a 2015 DCSB TRD Off Road. I know my shocks are the Bilstein's that came with that model truck but I'm not sure which model the shocks are. Would I be able to use those shocks with a leaf spring upgrade? Thinking Dakar's or Deaver U402 Standard's. Also would I be able to replace the front lift coils to level out the vehicle?

    Thanks!

    I ran my stock shocks with a single aal for roughly two years (no wheeling). But I wouldn’t spend the money on new leaf packs without getting extended length shocks. Any speed bump or pothole would run the risk of over extending the stock shocks.

    I'm just not sure if my stock shocks are extended length? I know they're upgraded Bilstein's on TRD Off Road

    Your stock shocks won't work, well for long any way. When you purchase new ones with a lift they have extended shafts tui account for the lift size. For example my Dakar peak gave me 3" in the rear and the nitro chargers shocks are meant for that lift, the travel numbers are the same as stock though.
