    tow hitch
    I have 75000 miles on my 03 tacoma. I recently bought a side by side atv, it weighs 1400 pounds. I have been towing it quite often, an noticed my rear end sags quite a bit. Would i gain anything by putting new shocks on the rear of my tacoma.

    would probably help the ride quality some.. but its not gonna make it sit any higher loaded or unloaded... springs determine the ride height....
