    Carlos said my right side was not bad enough to replace so he just fixed it, so I will return it or sell it, he fixed the hole in the bed and painted it

    DOES ANYONE KNOW THE PART NUMBER I NEED FOR THE KIT FOR FRONT AND REAR SHOCKS WITH LOADED COLIS FOR FRONT?

    MY TRUCK IS A 1996 TOYOTA REG BED REG CAB 2.4 ENGINE 2 WHEEL DRIVE

    OME and worth every penny.
    Your truck doesn't have coilover shocks. Just regular that you can get at AutoZone.

    Would a set of Bilstein 4100 shocks fit on the OP's 1996 Tacoma 2WD truck? They're around $300 for all 4 shocks.

    OK, I need to find out does my truck use factory stock shocks with load struts
    Loaded struts, I was told it does not, and the coil is not part of the struts and I can use Monroe for front part number 59366 and for rear part number 59367

    Run your VIN# on the Monroe website.

    I ran 96 2wd reg.cab and found this
    Front
    #37111 premium
    #32292 standard

    Rear
    #37112 premium
    #32293 standard

    The numbers you gave are exact fit Monroe LT gas matic shocks sold by Advance auto that may fit a wide variety of vehicles.

    I used my VIN number, yep, only regular shocks, but the part sellers are confused, now I'm 100% sure, it was dumb how they list this truck

    How far are you from Brewster, NY 10509 ? This is my Detroit Axle front coil and strut, it came as one unit. Nothing fancy and it works very well.
