    Hi

    I'm hopefully going to get front strut/coil takeoffs soon from a 2019 Tacoma TRD off road in order to level my 2007 4runner SR5 4WD V6 in the front. Good plan?

    I believe I have all original shocks in the whole vehicle (170K miles) so thought it might be good to also replace the rear shocks as well (leaving original rear coil spring as I'm not trying to raise the rear). Any suggestions for replacements? I'm thinking Bilstein 4600s right now which can be had new for around $90 each.

    Thanks!

    I dont remember if Taco shocks are direct replacements but the thing to check is that the lower shock mount bushing will fit into the LCA mount point.

    Bilsteins are just fine for no lift

    Thanks, I just ordered OEM Toyota rear shocks instead of the Bilstein 4600s since they were actually cheaper
