    Hopefully this is just a simple case of needing rear shocks.

    When I drive my truck and the road gets rough like a washboard the rear acts like it wants to come around on me even when the road is straight. If the rough spot is in a curve or on a wet road, HOLD ON!! :eek:

    I'm really hoping it just needs new shocks. My leaf packs are flat just like most other Tacos. The truck has just under 140k on it. I replaced the front shocks with 5100s about 20k ago.

    Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    dude mine did that horribly b4 I replaced the leaf pack and shocks, scared the shit outta me first time it happened. empty bed made it worse.

    idk if just shocks will do the trick, maybe an aal? but if you have flat stock leaves, (140k) its def time for an upgrade back there

    Try hitting washboard in my truck that has negative arched rear leafs and shocks with 170,000 miles on them.

    You'll feel much better about yours, guaranteed.
