100 Shock Decision

[jahawk]

I've had my 04 for about 2yrs now. I'm running cranked TBs, 30mm spacers and 275/70/18 BFG's. The truck came with Oespectrum shocks on it that were fine until a few trips ago.

I might do some serious wheeling a dozen or so times a year, but the majority of this trucks use is the front way to Crown King. So we are talking 25 plus miles on washboard type roads at between 20 and 40 MPH. Are stock Toyota springs the way to go or is another option better? Price isn't an issue within reason, but I also don't want to pay extra for something I don't need.

If your ride height works for you, consider upgrading the shocks for more usable travel and better feel in the corners over a stock shock.

Gonna sound a little strange because they're so inexpensive, but I loved the KYB shocks on my 99 100 series. Installed OME on that truck and was surprised that the KYBs were much beefier than the OMEs I replaced them with.

For what it's worth I ended up going with factory stuff.

OEM is hard to beat for the price, BUT they're fairly easy to trash. Black Friday isn't too far away, I got some Ironman Foam Cell Pros last year that I really like.

I picked mine up at Right Toyota for a bit over internet price, but not bad at all and they were in stock. They've been fine around town. I'm heading to CK next weekend so we will see.
