    Hi Gang! Now I know there must be some information on here on replacing the front shocks on a 02 Prerunner. I am a lurker here with only a few posts. So I was hoping a fellow Tacomer could point me to the best search method on this site. I have an 02 Prerunner DC and would like to replace the front shocks and am wondering how to tackle the springs. I am very mechanical, just not used to working on the Tacoma as of yet. Thanks! Jr.

    Make sure you use it right! Springs are dangerous when compressed. Get some bilsteins!
