Owner reviews for shock absorbers

I went with the Eibach Pro Truck Lift. Comes with shocks and springs. I also threw in the Icon AAL pack. Overall was about $900. I went with this instead of the 5100/ome setup because the 5100s and OME springs were not designed to be used with each other. The Eibach have been great and the trucks sits nicely.

I went with Bilstein 6112's up front and 5160's in the rear. Leveled the front and went one clip position up on the driver's side because Taco lean. After breaking in, the rear sags ever so slightly. It rides great, though!

I put on the fox shocks and Rubicon front springs as wells as some 34’s and it does great off road while still towing well.

The KYB Shocks and Quick Struts made it a brand-new car.

EXCEPT, with the OEM suspension, it never rode so WELL.

The vague, plush, sloppy feel of OEM felt like crap. No steering response or any road feel, anytime you tried to avoid a pothole in the road, you seemed to hit it.

Same shocks on my 18 platinum. Really helped with the rear end hop; feels more planted too, generally.

Just installed Bilstein 5100 Shock absorbers on my ‘18 Platinum. The truck takes those harsh bumps much smoother now and the silver shocks add a great look to my trucks Black/silver theme.

I run bilstiens, my last set was installed on my tacoma at 245k, i now have 295k and they still ride pretty decent. Im not easy on it either, regularly off roading, pulling 4klb trailers, hauling firewood, stone, scrap metal etc.

I'm really happy with them. They have eight adjustable settings both the front and the rear for preload and dampening. Otherwise my feelings about the Rancho shocks have been very favorable and the ride quality is at least equal to original factory with some adjustability for when I want to tow or go off-road and I like that.

I have changed the 4 shock absorbers for new "RideSense" from Monroe, like the originals and the same thing continues to happen. The change between "Comfort" and "Sport" is also noticeable, but I do not perceive that the active function that regulates the suspension when cornering is working.

Gabriel and Monroe shocks are super trash. You’ll be lucky if they last two years typically.
