    Hi,
    I am new to this forum. Thank you for all the resources here.
    I own a 2003 Tacoma limited extended cab 4wd manual that has a little lift. I bought it last year here in Hawaii on the big island. I would like to maintain my truck properly and therefore would need to replace the shocks and struts front and back.
    As this truck has a little lift I am not quite sure what shocks (front and back) and struts (front) I should replace it with. How do I find out the matching shocks. In the front it says revtec I believe. What are good brands I should go for.
    I have attached some pictures however I could not find these on the internet.
    On the rear shocks it says Explorer 32600, 16977 and C012Z2
    the front ones 551083 UE22K
    Help would be greatly appreciated.
    please see attached pictures,
    thanks a lot

    the aluminum block in the rear measures 3 cm, the part with the revote logo on it measures 3.5 cm.
    Any recommendations on shock brands? Do shocks cover a range of lift e.g. 1-2 inch or would it have to be precise?
    Sorry, I am new to the non stock situation.
    thank you
