I am new hear, my Taco is a SR with SX badging, 4x4 4cyl. But it works for me, LOL. I am wondering if aftermarket shocks would be a better choice? Any suggestions? Thanks

Spend a hour or two reading the threads posted on here before you do anything. There is no perfect shock its based off what you are doing and what your budget is
