Stock 2010 on road shocks.

just got a 2010 reg. cab tacoma. Got it Tuesday 9-22, and went to the dealership for the frame inspection today, 9-24, Thursday. It's getting a new frame. understand being a regular cab, it will never ride really smoothly. Looking for advice on shocks for the best on road ride. Most load will be
400 lbs. or less. Gonna be my every day driver. Don't need off road capability. It is 4 wheel drive.

 

umm depending on your budget. i would go find some new trd off road shocks on craigslist that someone took off their brand new tacoma. people sell those for $100 here is sacramento, ca.

or you can go with bilstein 5100. they area about $400.

 

Welcome to the forum Mike, hope the new frame doesn't take too long.
On the shocks, I second the post above, keep a check on the 2nd gen "buy sell trade" thread and you'll find a set sooner or later:

Does the new tacoma suspension parts fit my older truck?
Asking out of ignorance.

 

yes. you can use any 2005-2020 tacoma suspension parts.
i am running bilstein 6112/5160 on my 2015, that were made for a 2016-2020.

 

Thanks, Pahaf!

 

Ok, I think I will go ahead with the Monroe complete assembly with a new spring and top mount for the front, and bilstein 4600s on the rear.
I'm 66 y.o. this will be what you guys call a pavement princess.
I would appreciate any feedback about these possible choices.
I do have a small farm, if any off reading is needed, I will use a tractor.

 

4600's are the best on road shock for the money.

Also have them look at your rack and pinion, if its leaking change it now, its a bastard to change in the truck.

 

Thanks! What do you think about the Monroe units?
My thinking is the fresh springs and top mount of the struts are cheap insurance.
I will definitely keep on the dealership about the rack and pinion!
