Shock suggestions?

Those are for the rear. Not the front.

these ones

 

Yes, those look to the correct ones.
But they are not in stock on that site.

 

yea ive been looking everywhere and they seem to be out of stock most places.

just realized they guy had a sway bar delete on the vehicle. are then front sway bar kits pretty expensive?

 

Again, you might find one in the for sale section.
A lot of guys take the sway bar off when lifting.
They make relocation kits if you choose to keep the sway bar.

 

oh ok nice. thanks for all the help!

 

You can bring to a shop to do it. My local shop charge 80bucks.

 

If you're not lifting it, why not go with 4600s instead of 5100s? Last time I checked the 4600s were a bit cheaper. Per Bilstein, 4600 is recommended for stock height trucks, and 5100 is recommended for lifted. I am aware they can be run at stock height, but that's what Bilstein says.


EDIT: Here's the reply I got from Bilstein last year: "If you want to keep your truck at stock height then we would recommend our B6 4600 shocks. These shock have been tuned to the stock suspension. Our

$565 B8 5100 Series Set of Front & Rear Shocks fits 1996-2004 Tacoma with 1-1.5" Lift | TrendsAuto Decal | 24-249928 33-247724 33-247717

B8 5100 shocks are tuned to be used at a lifted ride height when the front shock is used to level the truck. Our best riding driving shock at the stock height will always be our B6 4600. Neither shock is more durable than the other and both are great for light off road and towing."

 

I really suggest that you do lots of research before you buy anything. There's alot more to lifting these trucks than just installing a new set of coilovers, and if you're going to take it off-road, you might want to reinforce spindles, lower control arm mounts, and rear spring hangers at a minimum. Good luck with your truck.

 

Thank you but it looks like the old under upgraded everything already

 

yea it seems the truck has 4600's on it already except for driver front one. gotta just replace the one.
