Front shock replacement, no lift
I was wondering if any of you tundra guys have replaced your shocks in front while maintaining your stock coils/ride height. If you did, did you just got OEM, or did you get something aftermarket?
thanks,
Ian

I will be on my 3d set soon, just waiting for some free time. My old stock shocks didn't go out. I just wanted to upgrade. I had tokico(black), now bilsteins(yellow/blue), and the next set which I already have awaiting install are IS bilsteins(red/blue) which are the same as the hd bilsteins(yellow,blue). Mine are all oem.

Do you get them just for the front, or as a set of four?
Thanks,

You can get factory length bilstiens for your truck. Try performance products. They have good deals on the shocks that you need. If you want a stock squishy ride stay away from bilsteins. If you want the best handling truck the bilsteins are the way to go.

I'm a member of TS and bought most of my stuffs from Carson Toyota in CA when they have sales. I buoght the shocks in a set of 4. The oem yellow/blue bilsteins I got off of ebay for $125 and the oem IS red/blue bilsteins I got from Carson for $200 that lists for $300+ and I also got a set of IS rims for $399 which lists for $800 at the same time and 2yr ago I bought the IS body kit from them for $600, which lists for about $2200. I usually wait for good deals or a sale. Performance Product does have bilsteins for sale and they are the hd bilsteins which is the same as my oem red/blue IS bilsteins.
