I love my little 2003 Tacoma, but the ride quality was not up to par with 92,000 miles, skinny tires and worn out shocks. I could see the shiny spots on the frame where the bump stops were hitting. I put some 15 x 7 wheels and 225-70 tires on it recently, which helped with stability and ride, but the new Monroe SensaTracs really made the difference. I wanted a more stable, solid ride, with better dampening of road bumps, and that's what these provide. For this daily-driver I did not want performance handling and a buckboard-stiff ride, and these are nowhere close to that. I've used SensaTracs with success before on other vehicles, and when combined with the Buy 3- Get One free rebate, Amazon's low price, and free shipping, they're a winner for me again. Took about 45 minutes to install. or some reason, Amazon didn't ship the rear shocks as quickly, so I haven't put them on yet- I'm sure they'll make a positive difference as well.Purchased these for my 1998 Tacoma 2WD. Fit great. My old shocks were way past due for replacement, even so these new Monroes were an upgrade from stock OEM shocks. Much better ride and handling. Amazon had best price around and 2-day delivery with Prime. Can't beat it.Fit perfect! 20 minute install.
