Good Replacement shocks? Time to replace?
I think its about time I replace my shocks. When I hit a bump the whole 4Runner just shakes and feels overly stiff. When hitting those little speedbumps i have to be going less than 3-5 miles per hour otherwise it feels like the back tires are going to blow out. After 200k miles I am guessing its time to replace them
I want to just start with the rear ones to save some money for now. What is a good replacement shock?
I found the green trekmasters that sonoran steel puts on the 3.0 system for $52 a peice. Would those be good overall shocks? And maybe in the future allow for a slight lift but still work great while stock (most important)
thanks for any help!

I'm running the sonoran steel system 3.0 and I love it. Great combination of firmness and ride comfort. My suspension had 100k miles on it when I replaced it so I can only imagine how sloppy the truck rides with double that. I also got a nice lift since I have a 2001.

What do you like about them? are they more of a road shock or a offroad? Or all around?
Thanks everyone for the responses.

I would say the OME comfort shocks are more all-around. They are valved a little soft and they feel nice, but I would go with the OME normals for more off road use. Since you see more pavement, the comforts would probably be the best choice.
