    Hey guys, I thought I would post this up for others who might have similar questions. Basically I am replacing my front and rear shocks as a basic maintenance on the truck. I have the rear tsb done and they are ok for now but are pretty flat. I want to stay close to stock height though so I will leave them in for now.

    I am thinking 5100's at .85, lean spacer and all new bushings. I know the front have some rubber parts as well including top bushings and a rubber piece that sits on the coil below the top hat. Any other parts that might need to be replaced at the same time? Do you guys have these parts or do I have to order them separately?

    Thanks for the help and as much info you can give me about the parts would be helpful for us to have on this site.

    Cheers,
    Evan

    Good morning,

    The bushings you are referring to are propitiatory to Toyota and must be purchased through them. Most 2nd gens are able to reuse the bushings they have (and I could be wrong, we do not do installs, but this is the feed back I receive.) But if you feel as if you would like to replace while you are under the truck.. Toyota is the place to purchase them.

    We do have the shocks in stock ready to go.

    If you have any other question please feel free to PM me.

    Micah
