Detroit Axle - 4WD Struts Shocks for 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma Complete 2 Front Struts with Coil Spring 2 Rear Shock Absorbers 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Replacement Suspension Kit

Stock struts/shocks were going out and looked for similar products. after reading reviews made the decision to purchase these. after getting new tires/front end alignment and I had these installed. They have been great ! and really helped the ride of my truck. For the price it was a great purchase and have had no problems.

You don't know how bad they are until you replace them. Wow! No more 'bouncing'. Nice and firm, washboard is easier to drive on [still not fun, but more tolerable]. These are a perfect fit on my 2007 Toyota Tacoma. I gave them a 5 star, "Ease to install", as they are...that is .. once you manage to get the old dirty nuts and bolts off. THAT was the work. I had both rear shocks on in about an hour [having to jack up each wheel at a time, I don't have a good floor jack]. The front shocks however, took another 2 to 3 hours. And again, that was due to having to jack one side up at a time, and then fight to get those old nuts off. I thought for sure I was going to snap the bottom bolt on one. But once you get the tie rods loose, the old struts out.. putting the new ones in took a matter of about 10 to 20 minutes to get them in place and re-install the tie rods. The one thing that was hard, was the upper wheel mount plates: I had to use a piston jack to push them back down, as once they are loosened, they spring upward, and it takes a fair amount of strength to pull them back down and hold them in place when replacing the connecting bolts. As for the shocks themselves; they made the ride like new! I highly recommend them for the DIYer.

Good quality.

I ordered a set of 4 shocks for my tacoma. packages arrived in good condition. Took them to my Toyota dealer for installation and was informed that one of the front shocks was the incorrect model and wold not fit.Truck was already apart and the old shock had to be cut out so putting back the old one was not an option. Toyota said they could source it locally for me but at a cost of about double what i paid and they'd put the wrong one back in the box for return.detroit axle would not discuss any refund amount other than the original price even though it cost me double due to there mistake but what choice did i have so i sent it back. when they received it they said it was damaged and offered no refund. I looked at the shock before i sent it back,it was fine. so guess what. I got screwed. NOT HAPPY !!!

THEY WERE COMPLETE

YouTube is great for learning how to install these. First time doing these and took about 2.5 hours to do front and back. If I were to do them again it would probably take half that. I’ve had them on my truck for 3 weeks now, going great so far! Coil overs seem to be holding up just fine, the flex is better than the old ones I replaced due to bushing wear and rust on the shocks. I also love the all black look, I will update this review when I’ve had them closer to 1 year.

So far so good

Installed these on my 2012 Tacoma, didn't take long an they fit perfectly. Truck is alot stiffer and feels firm.
