    sup guys, i have an 02 dc tacoma with icons in the front and just put new ranchos in the back, my problem is that ever since i put the shocks its been a bumpy ride, and my cousin has the same exact truck as mine with the same shocks and everything, and when i ride in his its smooth and no bumping in the front or back of the truck, the only real difference in our trucks is that he has a V6 and i have a i4? any help:(:confused:

    it's not the uca's. just give the co's some time to break in. ..they will soften up a bit. ...after a couple months, if you still think it's too stiff, you can alway just lower them a bit which reduces the preload on the springs and will give you a softer ride.

    you may be the first person i've ever heard complain about the ride of donahoe/icon co's.
