Advice on shocks?
Guys, have a 97 Tacoma 2WD with stock shocks after 100k miles and was wanting to see if getting different shocks would give a little softer/smoother ride. Don't get me wrong though, the ride as it is, is not that rough. I have heard good info about the Bilstien's for the TRD's and 4x4's but what about for the 2wd'ers. Would that make it rougher? Or are new stock ones the way to go?
Appreciate any feedback, thanks

I would question OEM and say the Trekmasters seem to be very popular for the runners. They are not as stiff as Bils but provide better handling than stock. They're also pretty affordable as others have said that they've gotten Trekmasters shipped for $200 from Ebay. Just a thought...
