which shocks to go with??
Ok... I have read a million posts and have narrowed it down....
I am going to be running Tundra coils up front with 2 top up spacers, FZJ-80 springs in the rear ....
seems it comes down to two good shock options... OME N91S front and N86s in the rear, or the OE TRD tacoma fronts, FZJ-80 rears....
I have read that you need limiting straps to run the OMEs in the front as they drop too far...
I will be using the truck 75% street 25% 4X4... I am leaning toward the OE Takico setup right now...
Any advice people running these can give me would be great!!!
Cheers
Bob

sorry, bob, made an error. must be the beer
hopefully people will chime in, but from the years of reading here, both are good choices and good to see you've narrowed it down to these two

I have not heard of the droop issue with the front requiring the use of limiting straps, have you by chance taken a measurement of the droop and compared it with the extended length of the shock?
As far as shock choices, you should be happy with the OME

sschaefer3 has had a bunch of posts about the tundra coils with top up spacers and OME requiring limiting straps and he highly recomends the TRD taco ones:

also here:

From reading his posts, and seeing the time and effort he has put into this, I seem to feel that this is a really good way to go....

Man there is soo much info out there... I have been reading for a month and still feel I have nothing but the basics...
From what I have read, all the guys agree on one thing, doing it right the first time... and thats my plan!!! Once I figure out what I need then Im all over it...
I know that not having my truck yet makes me look a bit like a horses butt, but thats OK with me... When I get the truck I will have a pile of parts ready to go for it... I can spend the time now figuring out the setup for me, and apply it right away....
I cant wait
