01' Taco Rear Suspension fix

[tejada2000]

I need to replace the rear shocks on my 01' Tacoma.
Any advice, need to know info, tips, do's/don'ts I should know before I start?
Any shock suggestions? My truck is still stock so whatever I replace the shocks with will have to work on a stock set up.

I've always been a Bilstein man with my truck.

The ones I'm currently running have been serving me well for about 2 years now. I'm currently running Bilstein 5125's

The Bilstein Part Numbers are:
5125 - 8" Rear for Tacoma (BE5-6252-H5) [Driver's Side]
5125 - 8.5" Rear for Tacoma (BE5-6253-H5) [Passenger Side]

These shocks will work at stock ride height, but will still be good for up to 3" of lift.

Sometimes the rubber will attach to the bushing and the bushing to the bolt, then the fun begins. Good luck.
