    08 Access Cab-SR5-Boat Tower....We are both getting old !!!
    Double DIN JVC Head unit with Ipod and Bluetooth, Plays video even while driving Shhhhh...Speaker replacement, 200 W Alpine Amp. Glove box twin 12V power outlets
    My 08 shocks are kinda beat from boat towing and crappy Boston roads.
    I get hopping when going over potholes, gouges and dead bodies. Its sooo annoying !!!

    Also..
    I go offroad about as often as a mountain lion comes into town for a double cappucino latte'.... So thats not what I need.

    I want to replace them with a good quality shock that wont stiffen the ride. I saw some in the Buy/Sell forum but they are for TRD (maybe too stiff?).. Dunno.....
    I did find these Bilstien heavy duty ones online. But I just don't know how they would feel, so I would appreciate suggestions if you got em'. I really don't know what to put on and once its done there is no turning back.
