Bilstien, Fox and King have a few different options for the rear of our Tacoma's from stock to 6" Lift.
Here is a list:
​

Bilstein O.E Replacements (Yellow 1.75" Bodies)-
Entry level Nitrogen charged shock for stock suspension, no lift

Bilstein 5125 Series Replacement (Zinc Finish 2" Bodies)-
Off Road oriented specific valved Nitrogen shock, 1.5" longer for additional lift like AAL, or replacement leafs. Not designed for anything larger than 1.5" of lift!

Bilstein 5100 Series Replacement (Zinc Finish 2" Bodies)-
non vehicle specific Nitrogen shocks that come in various lengths and a few valving options ranging from soft, medium and firm. This series only comes in a Loop/Loop mounting option so a additional stem to loop adapter is required to properly install in the rear.

Other Rear shock options

Fox 2.0 Piggy back Reservoir shocks-
Direct replacement for the Tacoma's with additional 2" of lift. Custom tunable for specific valving needs. They have now developed a 8 way adjustable C/D adjuster that lets you tune your shocks dampening with the turn of a dial!


KING 2.5" Remote Reservoir direct replacement Tacoma rear shocks
​

Direct replacement for the Tacoma's with additional 2" of lift. Custom tunable and come with unique reservoir mounting bracket. Ultimate Off Road Capabilities!

 

anyone know where i can get the fabtech dirtlogic 2.5 coilovers and if they'll fit 06 pre-runner tacoma?? (they look exactly like the camburgs so dont see why they wouldnt fit but i dont know. These are blue, which is why i want them)

Check out these babies....Blue to the MAX!

 

priced out to the MAX too. Trust me I'd love to buy those along with the piggyback rear shocks but i dont have that kind of money layin around

 

How much are the Dirt Logics? Its been awhile since I priced a set of them out.

 

dont quote me on this but saw on some website a guy got his for a little under 1k.

 

anyone know how to tell if my taco has the v6 towing package and if not can it be installed?

 

if you have a warranty can you go to toyota and tell em you have a "rough ride" and theyll replace em for free??

 

​

do these lift the whole truck or just the back

 

I have heard mixed reviews as to how Toyota is handling the TSB's- I had to basically fight them for a few days before they gave in. I took measurements of trucks on their lot and showed them that my springs were almost 2" lower than the stock trucks. After that it was taken care of- My question is that I heard that some of the 2009 trucks still have the 3 leaf packs in them. Is that true?

 

i dont know i have 07

 

The rear Fox shocks dont actually lift the rear, they just come longer to accommodate for additional rear lift like a AAL or springs. Do you know if your truck has 3 or 4 leaf springs in the pack? The defective springs have 3 leafs in them...

 

Are these coilovers same quality as toytec coilovers and camburg coilovers??
