    Should have taken longer test ride on bumpy roads. Have a sport but don’t like feeling
    everything on road with the hitachi shocks.Can feel All the way up to the steering wheel.
    Thinking of changing shocks to bilstein 5100s. Anyone know how much will help? I would
    think would help some but wonder if would be worth it.also thought of getting tire with more
    sidewall for better ride. Any help or input but be great. Thanks

    Don't know, but I like the Sport so I CAN feel the road and the ground. Makes me feel like I'm driving and not riding. I also like watching the yahoo's behind me wallow their trucks front end in the turns when they realize "Oh sheit, I can't drive as fast as that Tacoma". :D

    This is true! It does corner well.
