I added the Rancho shocks up front and the Fab Tech add a leaf 1.5. In the back for a 2-3 inch lift all around. We replaced the rear shocks with bilstien 4600. This is on my 2001 2WD Tacoma. After having done this, I would have put bilstien 5100 in the back. Otherwise everything works/looks nice!

I'm not sure about the back .Maybe add an extra leaf or air shock are you putting this on a toyota Tacoma? !

After reading the previous posts, do not use an air shock to lift or support additional weight, rear shock mounts are not designed to to support any weight. Tacoma's have a negative arch rear spring so I would shy away from an Add-A Leaf. Look for a set of air bags that are frame mounted and push on the axle which is designed to carry weight. Air bags are very durable and reliable plus they offer adjustable ride height. KYB MonoMax and Bilstein both offer application specific, extended length rear shocks. KYB lists them as 1.5" longer than stock. Look up your year tacoma here http://www.kyb.com/catalog/ and you should be able to find what you need.

They seem to work like a normal shock. The Odyssey has a coil spring and shock on the rear so I was worried the ride would be really stiff with this extra spring. I'm very please with the ride (nice and smooth).

Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb. They lasted me a bit then broke off. Rear will break off first then front.For the front fender, I had issues having it stay in tight so I did some modifications by putting a rubber band to get a better grip to stay in.My advise to you is, buy the DeFender™ XC1/XC11 Set, they come in 26 and 29 inch depending on your wheel size. Find them cheap on ebay! Got mine there. They look much better, more durable, and newest model from Topeak. Yours is a hardtail so you'll be fine. More of a problem with full suspension bikes when it comes to rear fenders but there are special ones made for FS MTB like the mudhugger. Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb.

You bet!!! https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t31.0-8/10688126_4890858766030_8226816949852837274_o.jpg Tie wrap legs to the top of the shocks, waist strapped to the back rest (I now have a black and white strap), one hand tie-wrapped to his leg, the other I have a Velcro strap going to my shoulder. No problems...even on the freeway. The looks you'll get are priceless!!

I believe these are only for front of car. I was told what to buy from a friend who repairs cars. For the rear I think u just need shocks.

Not just for stock, they have enough travel for what seems to be about 3 inches safely, i put these shocks in with a "Leveling Kit" that raised the back 2 inches and the front about 3-3.5 Inches.

The front takes the same shock on both sides. It is the rear that takes different shocks for each side. If you read my review on changing out this product, I should have listed which ones are the front. Otherwise, if Amazon's info does not provide your answer, just go to Monroe like I did. Took me a whole 5 minutes to find the answer.

These will restore your factory ride, but you should probably invest in some shocks with helper springs or aftermarket springs rated for towing

These are for the rear. They will add some weight capacity for heavy loads, and help with weak or worn leaf springs.

you need to get the ones for a four inch lift, or they will not have enough rebound. They are great shocks, mine are for three inch lift, check application chart.

They are rear shocks. Go to gorancho.com and they will tell you which model is for front and rear of your vehicle.

You don NOT have to get new springs for the front. These will lower the rear. IF you want to lower the front, you can buy the lowering springs, or shorten the existing springs.
