Rear Shock Suggestions

2007 SR5 5.7l DBL Cab

I am looking for rear shock suggestions for my Tundra. 1 shock is leaking and the other is a cheap replacement that is a sad excuse for a shock. I plan on towing 5000 lbs travel trailer next month and will be ordering a set of timbren's this week to install.

I really want the truck to have a "nice" ride close to the OEM and am looking for around $50 a shock if possible, but any suggestions would be nice. I am also putting Sulastic shackles on in December as a Christmas present to myself.

Thank y'all in advance.

 

I am unaware of any quality shock under 50.

At that price point you will probably need some take-offs. Here is an example from Craigslist:

$100, but worth the extra $50.

Less than $50 a piece. Made in USA. Not something I'd want though. The Eibach's mentioned above are a good value.

The unloaded ride quality will be much better than the Bilstein 4600’s or 5100’s. NOT the factory Toyota Bilsteins.

 

They were better than the stock ORs I took off…

 

I was referencing that the aftermarket Bilsteins have a much stiffer ride. I should have clarified. The Eibachs were hands down better than stock on my 4Runner and the Bilstein 5100 equipped 4Runner I was in.

 

Agreed, the aftermarket Billys were a bit stiff when I had them, but that was on a Tacoma and a 4Runner. Ill eventually put the Eibach on our 4Runner, I was a fan of them when I had them on the Tundra.

 

LOL thank y'all for the suggestions I am going to buy a pair of the Eibachs shocks. Its only an extra $100 and will keep me from the dreaded rock auto shocks I was looking at. Up until now I have really only driven VW's. I know were and what parts to get because they are always needing some kind of maintenance part. Toyota not so much.

Once again thank you

 

Well worth it…good luck and enjoy!

 

I have already put 3k on the eibach’s and they are really an excellent put together product and have a good solid feel and improved ride quality. I like that they are USA made.

Thank you for the suggestion
