Need a Spot
I've got a bone stock 2004 Taco TRD that is starting to get a little bouncy. The suspension has always been a little soft for me. Thinking new shocks would probably do it. Any suggestions on replacements? Go to the dealer and get new Bilsteins? Aftermarket Bilsteins? Something else?
Thanks -

I like the aftermarket Bils in the front coilovers. It wasn't long before I changed out the rears for more flex, so I can't remember the differences (too many years ago). But I thought the stock setup was a little soft and the aftermarkets were just right.

Now that I've swapped, I run Bils front and back.
