    Hey, This is to anyone who is willing to help me just alil bit. My taco is riding very stiff in the rear. I can add about 200-300 pounds in the bed and it will ride so smooth like it was stock. I have the Daystar 2" shackles with the cheap Fabtech shocks (they are of the same quality as the Procomp es3000s). What should I do to fix my stiff ride problem? Its been stiff since I lifted it and Im tired of it! Thanks!!!!

    Welcome to Tacoma World. Sounds like your shocks are are worn out. Fabtech shocks suck. Procomps arent much better. Get a good set of Bilstiens, or the like. Make sure they are sized for the amount of lift you have.
