PSA: Tacomas with leaf springs and coils share the same shocks - TRD Offroad shocks installed on SR!

[samsmith1226]

I love my SR with the 6 speed manual, however I felt the rear took bumps mouch rougher than I would like. Although it wasn't the end of the world, I wanted to find better shocks if I could. All listings for shocks online say that the coil shocks won't work on the leaf setup in my truck, however after looking at the shocks for both trucks I thought otherwise. After I cross referenced part numbers online I was sure enough they were the same, so I decided to take a bit of a gamble and bought $200 trd offroad bilsteins on ebay.

I got them in and the ride is so much more stable, my truck feels planted to the ground and the handling is way better.

What part #'s did you use? I have an Xtracab SR5 that is a bit bouncy in the back end and would love to smooth it out.
