would i be able to tell with different shocks?

I have a prerunner with a 3 inch lift kit and AAL so i was wondering if i would be able to tell the difference if i replaced all the shocks with billies? and if so, what kind?

 

If you got 5100's and ditched the spacers up front the ride would be considerably better. Still stiffer than stock tho.

 

What about for the rear??

 

I noticed a smoother ride when I replaced my factory shocks with 5100's in the rear.

 

Even with an AAL?

 

You aren't going to get a stock ride with an AAL no matter what. Once you do the AAL, new shocks will ride better than the stockers.

 

I love my 3", ToyTec coilovers and 4x billies but I had only driven my truck 4k miles and, frankly, didn't notice a damn bit of difference. If anything it is a little stiffer.
I wouldn't call it better, but I like the lift results and the knowledge of having better quality shocks in the system.
