    Like the title says. I need to replace my shocks for the 2nd Gen double cab long bed and found some 2021 TRD shocks at a good price. Tried checking OEM parts sites but came away as stupid as I was before searching, except I'm tired now too. Any help out there?

    That wouldn't be good. Shocks will raise it up? I thought the springs did that. So the back would be stock height?

    Correct on the springs.

    Using 2021 rear shocks, the height of your truck will stay same. Your leaf springs or spacers determine the height. If your installing the front springs from the 2021 it will raise your front about an inch or a little more. This all depends on the condition and wear of your current stock springs.

    BlkDakDave, good news then. I might try and find the springs too. My 09' appears to have missed the rear spring recall but I'm going to check. Thanks all.
