    Hey all,
    I’m looking for recommendations on rear shock upgrades for my Tacoma.
    Currently running Bilstein 5160, but they’re rusted, old and tired.
    I upgrade the rear leafs to Icon RXT Stage 3 last year. (The truck is heavy) Looking for something fairly budget friendly to pair with the rxt’s and could probably upgrade the bump stops while I’m at it.

    I found some Icon 2.0 1.5-3” Aluminum shocks which fit the budget ($270 CAD per side), the 2.5’s are around $600 per side.

    5125s. Measure your compressed and full droop shock length and get the model that matches. For safety you orovably want abiut an inch shorter than measured at full compression. Overcompressing will blow the shock but it is okay for extension to be a hair short and act as a limit strap.

    U bolt flip with perry parts or archive bump stops.
