96 Tacoma shocks..
4 WD Manual V6 Tacoma, '96 w/150K.
Clean. New Clutch + all other stuff up to spec.
What is your advice on shocks? I drive distances on highways @ 70+ mph, then drive dirt, rough dirt and some mandatory four wheel drive. No jumping or crazy stuff, just trying to get to a destination.
It has in it the bilstien trd ones. They didn't last that long, i thought.
Thanks.

How's the rest of your suspension? Your rear leafs? My leafs are sagging (from the shell), so I am going to go with a full OME set up. I think if you're going to mess with the suspension, especially at 150k, re-do the whole thing.
The OME set up will give you 1.5-2.5" lift (depending on which package you go with--soft to heavy duty) and soften up the ride than the stock set up---especially over rough dirt roads.

A lot of the folks in our off-road club are running the OME front coils and struts. If you're interested PM us with a zip code and we'll get you a delivered price. Unfortunatly they don't have a rear leaf they recommend for the 95.5-97 Tacoma, the 98 and up leaf pack is too long.
