    new guy here.....
    I installed a cheap leveling kit (blocks) on my stock 2017 Tacoma sport
    3" front 2" rear
    I'm finding the stock rear shocks are "topping" out and are stretched too far. I want to replace them.....anyone have a suggestion for what I should use?

    Nothing heavy duty.....just something longer than the stock shocks

    Yes you probably need extended length rear shocks. You could take some pointers from some full kits like this one and buy the shocks they include.

    bilstein 5100s are great and rated for 0-2in of lift. also the 5160s if you are looking for a resi shock. both are budget friendly
