Wheeler's lists them as for the 4runner but I believe these are the same as the Tacoma. The tundras are a different part number. I have them on the highest perch. Ride is firm but pleasant.

The rear ride I would describe as "plush" much softer than the front. Very nice feeling actually. My entire suspension was in very bad shape though so my opinion is based on a 4runner with bad suspension.

Oh sorry I thought you were describing the billies in that post. Thanks

Did the lc shocks bolt right up ? Or did you have to change the bushings ?

Direct bolt on.

Well I have the same issue my top nuts are toasted and just plane seized to the strut mount appears someone has tried to get them off before but they just rounded the nuts off any ideas dremel , grinder , sawzal I have all 3 but not sure what blades I need ? I’m was hoping this would be a relatively quick deal but of course not I’m starting to hate my current t4r

Dremel MultiMax with the crazy expensive carbide bits was the only thing that worked for me. Grinder was too big.
