Front struts

What is the best aftermarket strut assembly for my 2002 Tacoma V6, 6Lug that most people have had good sucess with

 

Coilovers are used, not struts.

Best is subjective...do you have a goal in mind? Budget?

If you're keeping it stock, Bilstein 4600s are very affordable and they're near factory-equivalent replacements (slightly better actually).

Many have used MOOG coils but I can't comment on those.

I used Fox 2.5 on one vehicle and King 2.5 on others.

 

Thank you sir.

 

Some vendors list them as struts that does nothing but cause confusion.

 

I'd go with the bilsteins, anything cheaper is such poor quality it's not worth it.

 

Been trying to find the same thing. Im going to adjust my search parameter to include "coil-over" and see if it produces more luck.

Parts geek has a big selection, try them.

I agree with 4600 and moog coils. I have also heard that quik strut is good.

 

What search are you trying to accomplish though?

If you're wanting OEM, just go Bilstein 4600s with new coils from Toyota.

If you want to save a few bucks, buy Moog coils instead.

Not much to it.

 

Kyb monomax are another good option if not looking to lift

 

@Kwikvette can you compare/ contrast the Fox vs King for me? Which did you like better?

I’m looking for the best setup for my truck.

FYI, I use my truck 85% off-roading and 15% moving stuff for me and friends. It is not a daily driver.

thanks for the input.

 

Just go ADS for the custom-to-your-truck valving, and do a rear shock relocation


That's what I wish I would've done.













Upgraded bump stops are an extremely great bang for the buck if you really off-road.

@Kwikvette, Those cooper discoverer are the best tires on earth IMO.

 

Are the front struts/coil the same on left and right? Meaning the same part could be used on either side? I dont know why im having such a hard time with this. I want the whole assembly with top mounting plate, shock and coil spring. I dont find any that specifically say they will fit a 4 door truck. Some even have additional weight ratings. I'm looking for 0" OEM coil and shocks!

 

Struts aren't used at all.

The shocks, for the fronts, are the same.

The coils are as well if you go aftermarket, but factory coils will have a paint stripe depicting left from right. They'll have different part numbers.
