Best Budget stock replacement Coilovers/Shock 2007 base

my BIL now has my old 2007 Tacoma base, it has 160k and he wants to replace the coilovers and rear shocks. Does not want anything other that a stock ride, this is a work/commuting vehicle.
There are kits all over ama zon , but he really doesnt know which one to consider, he wants to be as cost effective as posible.
ANy suggestions?
Thanks !

 

I had a shop put Monroe shocks in the rear, and I ordered the preloaded Monroe on Amazon that should be in my truck by next weekend. I can try and remember to come back here and let you know how they feel. I was just going for a good budget option for everyday driving.

Rear shocks were 145 installed, front struts were just under $100 per, and then $200 for a shop to install them. The installations of these are fairly simple though i've heard, I just don't have any tools to do it myself.

If you can avoid the shop, $200 for preloaded struts and another $100 for the rear shocks is about as cheap as it will get. Both items on Amazon had good reviews.

 

Get a set of new or newer take offs from later Years!

 

Yea, I just bought a pair of take offs, stock yellow Bill's F&R with less than 5K for $50.00. I would have given him $100 but not more. I'm in a populated area and there must be 6-8 Craig's list ads for take offs from $100-$300. Know what you are looking at!

 

I put these on my Prerunner that doesn't see a lot of off roading other than when I'm hauling my dirt bikes on unpaved county roads or forest service roads. I'm happy with them. Your BIL's truck may take some different ones.

Eibach makes some decent ones. More of a non-offroad (?) style

 

Thanks all for the replies, i will take a look, Im In the phoenix area, and take offs are hard to find, cheap.
ill keep my eyes open and look at the other options.
Appreciate it.

 

I'd put Rancho QuickLift coilover. 2 inches of front lift.

 

He wants to keep it stock height, just used for surface street communting( Drives an F450 at work)

 

So then put Rancho RS5000 all around. That's what I have.

 

hmmm.good option, ...and just use stock coils, any real need to replace the coils? (150k miles give or take)

 

Just replace the front shock. Rear were $50 on Amazon, and front were $90 at 4wheelParts.

 

I replaced them during November 2017. My truck is a 2008, and had 46,000 miles, my coils were in good shape.

 

thanks much ! Ill see what he wants to do.

 

You're welcome bud.

 

i think it may be best to change the coils on this truck, its been through a lot.

 

In that case, get the Quicklift. The lift will just level out the truck, nothing extreme. You have pictures of your rig?
