I have a 1996 Toyota Tacoma with a ~2″ lift. The rear shocks were trash so I replaced them with these. The first thing I noticed was how much quieter the back of my truck is on bumpy roads. Installs was super easy. A little lubricant and the shocks slipped onto the studs. I put the top of the shocks on first and had to cut the wire to install onto the bottom stud. The shock extended but it wasn’t difficult to push it back enough to slip it onto the bottom stud. The shocks have a good finish and the bushings are one piece so they don’t fall out when you are installing the shock.

Was kind of skeptical but went ahead and purchased, installed on project truck 1998 Tacoma Pre Runner, fitment was spot on and made a huge difference in the ride. Rear lifted one inch over stock and shocks perform as described.
