Or what? I have the shocks and they're...well, shocks, there's nothing fundamentally different from any other shock I've had. Am I missing something? This strikes me as how manufacturers say, "Always service your vehicle with genuine Toyota parts." Maybe they won't honor the warranty otherwise? If anyone has any insight on why the Eibach statement could possibly be accurate, please chime in.

Bluesky 07, Thanks for your input on all things 4th gen.
I just got one a few weeks ago. '03 SR5 V8 w/ 170k.
One of the first things I'm doing is replacing the CV axles. While I've got it apart, I am going to do some other wear items like brakes and suspension. I picked up some new Tru Drive (off brand?) 2015 Tacoma coilovers on FBMP for cheap. I'm thinking of using 3rd gen Taco UCAs also. I’ll probably go ahead and replace anything that gets touched. I'll do rear soon but later.
My questions for anyone are as follows:
1. Does the above sound directionally correct?
2. Anyone got a good list of parts that have to be loosened? Seems like a good time to do tie rod ends, links, bushings, etc.
3. I’ve seen enough on this truck to believe new hardware might be appropriate. Anyone know of any premade kit or an existing list of nuts and bolts? Sizes? Link?
4. Keeping budget in mind, what is the most plug and play for rear shock/spring if towing is more important than lift?
This one will be my daily while my 1st gen undergoes powerplant reassignment. It identifies as diesel.
Until then, I want a comfortable, leveled out, truck that is refreshed over 21 year old OE.
I'll start threads in the appropriate forums on both builds.
Thanks KG
