    In my bias opinion, Stocker shocks sucks. I had to upgrade my '13 Taco shocks to bilstein51 as soon as I got the opportunity.

    OEM Bilsteins are not the same that you would buy aftermarket. Go non-OEM Bilsteins, or I even went Monroe OESprectum on my 2006 and was happy with them.

    If the OP catches a deal (free) on new take off bilsteins they will be better than the stock black tokico.

    Shocks are fairly inexpensive. The factory bilsteins are really not all that special, go 5100 from downsouth motorsports if you have the cash.

    This...........I was just answering the OP's question. I didn't read "What are best replacements?" Of course many aftermarket options are better than oem Bilsteins.
