Shock questions. Don't judge me!

[sharpe97]

Okay guys, so before anyone says "Use the search button, somebody already answered your question.", I just want to say that I've searched for almost a week trying to decide on what to do, and I want opinions on my exact setup/wants, etc. So, now that that's out of the way, here's my question. What rear shocks should I get? I already have the following: Bilstein 5100s for a Tundra (on the way), Toytec/Ebaich front lift coils, and LC 8 wraps. I know to get shocks for a LC, or extended shocks for a 4R. What I want to know is which ones to get. I'm kinda on a budget, so the 5100 billies are not really the ideal choice, but I can go there if I need to. What suggestions do you guys have? I DD my runner, and the roads here are awful, so I don't want anything so stiff that I hate driving it, I wheel it pretty often, so I want something that's gonna flex well and do well on washboards/gravel roads. I don't typically carry weight, I'm eventually putting a hybrid rear bumper and a roof rack, so not too much weight in the rear. So what do you guys think is gonna my best bet?

Sorry bro you've been judged!

:flamethrwoer2:

What I did was go through the build threads and looked at what people that had LC shocks and what shocks they were using (and if their rig was sick).

Here's a hint: LC OEM shocks are the cheapest best option for your DD ...

How do you like yours? Do they ride pretty good?

People seen to like the LC tokikos, and I believe one if the senior members is running a pair of really inexpensive LC Monroe shocks that he likes.. I'd stay away from ome shocks with washboard roads as I've driven rigs with those and they are a bit harsh for me. I have the 5125's, I think, and love them... Not cheap though. I guess I'd recommend you go with the LC tokikos... Toyota quality, right length, and people like the ride.
