    I'm going to be doing an OEM replacement (Monroe) of the suspension on a rusty 2006 Tacoma. I'll have the coilovers and rear shocks/springs.

    What other parts should I also be replacing or looking at since I'll already have it torn apart?

    Thanks! I'm a newb with suspension stuff.

    Thanks for the info. Haven't gotten under the truck to look in detail yet. I just know it's very rusty. On second thought, Prob gonna go with KYB coilovers in front. Need to decide now on the springs for the rear.
