Rear End shocks to match the Tacoma Tokicos up front...

I have all but pieced my new lift together, Tociko struts, Tundra Coils, Spacers, all used, but now I'm looking into the rear, as of now I have 891 coils and N86 shocks. The 891's are overkill and will be switched to 890's, as far as shocks...
I'm still looking, the N86c look nice, but how much different are they then my N86, is it even worh the trouble to take them off for the N86c?

Has anyone tried the rear Tokico shock from the 04' TRD double cab Tacoma? I assume it is also dual valved, would this aplication work for the rear? Any thoughts would be great. Thanks!

How's the rake with the tundra setup up front and the OME 891's in the back? I'm looking to get some 891's because I have a boat to tow and don't want to get the saggy rear.

I have not installed my new front suspension yet, as of now I still have SAW's up front.

FWIW, the N86C's are crazy soft. In fact, they're softer than the stock shocks. I think you'll like the regular N86.

You could always get cruiser shocks.

SAWs too stiff for you Im assuming? I have 891s and I rake about an inch compared to my cornfed spacers up front. I hope to get some tundra coils and top outs to fix my rake.

That and they need to be rebuilt, so i'm just going to swap the front end and see if anyone wants some SAW's that need to be rebuilt. I might just leave by rear setup alone, the 891's have 25k on them, so they are fairly broken in, but still a bit too stiff.


Anyone have some 890's and that maybe want to swap for soem 891's?


Back to the original question would the tacoma shocks work?

I'm not sure I agree with that, but my statement is stricty opinion based.
I think they are firmer than OEMs, but that is just IMHO.
I really like the comfort shocks and I don't find them too soft in the least.

......sorry UNR, I'm keeping my 890s (that should tell you something).

Ditto,

What he said...

I have 890's and comfort shocks and I am very happy. I actually find the front shocks a little too firm.... (Taco Tokico)
