Tacoma shocks on a GX fitment question (1 Viewer)

[ArBrnSnpr]

Hello all,
From my research, the front shocks from a 05-15 Tacoma should bolt up to a GX470, but when dealing with aftermarket suspension, is the valving and spring weight likely to be substantially different?

I have an opportunity to get my hands on some Icon shocks and want to make sure they're a solid upgrade. I'm running Icons currently, but they're in need of a rebuild and gaining an external reservoir would be an added perk of this deal.

Thanks!

I put 2020 Taco TRD-OR Bilstiens on my GX470 with no issues. I did need to buy a different bushing for the bottom of the rear shocks.

The front rides great, arguably has a little bit of a lift (.5") over stock.

Did you use the same Taco TRD coil or swap the GX coil onto the TRD strut? Was the rear bushing a Toyota part? Thanks in advance.

Used the Taco TRD coil. The part you need for the rear shocks is Energy Suspension 9.8108G 3/4" Hourglass Shock Eye Bushing - here's the link to them on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspension-9-8108G-Hourglass-Bushing/dp/B000CN9D4E

Bumping this thread again to ask if @thundercatss or anyone else could give insight to how the tacoma set up feels? I have a set of 4600's from a 2023 Tacoma for 100 bucks waiting to be purchased, but wanted to see if there was any downside to doing the swap? Planning to keep lexus front coils as I dont want the lift and theyre in good shape. Just concerned if valving is different and will be too soft due to weight differences?

Thanks!
