    I just recently had the frame replaced on my 05 Tacoma and during the install the back shock covers were broke so the dealership went ahead and replaced the back shocks with OEM. I don't know much at all about shocks and will be taking my truck to the shop to have the front ones replaced soon. Does it matter if I have a different brand put on the front or should I stick to the Toyota OEM shocks? Does anyone have a ballpark idea of what it should cost to have the front replaced? I have honestly never had front shocks replaced just wondering how much i need to start saving. Thanks

    If you dont plan on going offroad or leveling the front out just stick to oem.
