2024+ Toyota Tacoma - Rear 2.5 in. Race Shocks - Adjustable
Upgrade the control arms and shocks of your 3rd or 4th generation Toyota Tacoma with our line of suspension components and Direct Fit Race shocks. Choose from front upper and rear (upper and lower) control arms made from heavy-duty tubular DOM steel or premium billet, along with adjustable and non-adjustable options of our popular Direct Fit Race shocks. Front upper control arms accommodate lifts up to 4-inches, correct camber and caster for a smoother ride, and are fully rebuildable, making either option a sustainable and long-lasting upgrade for your Tacoma!
ADS is also proud to offer our all-new Direct Fit Race Series shocks for Tacoma. This shock line is engineered to provide maximum stability and control in a bolt-on upgrade that is built to withstand extreme conditions and heavy use. Benefit from the durability and corrosion resistance of zinc plated, steel shock bodies, with a crystal clear Cerakote® finish. The shock features black anodized billet aluminum top and bottom caps, along with hardchrome plated steel shafts for superior corrosion resistance. Its shock eye mounts include machined rod ends with high-strength spherical bearings to boost performance. Everything about these shocks are premium!
These rock slider steps have an interesting design and look good, unfortunately the build quality is less than expected. First, the access holes for the bolts are tight - whether they are too small or the coating makes them too small, I don’t know. I do know that it made the installation challenging. Once the bolts are seated and the nuts are tightened, the socket is wedged between the bolt head and the side of the access hole so tightly that you cannot remove the socket. I had to loosen the nut, pull the bolt partway back so I could remove the socket and then advance the bolt, wedge it in place with a flat screwdriver and tighten the nut from the other side. Especially challenging since the other side doesn’t allow room for a ratchet or closed wrench so you have to do it with the open side of a wrench. 5 out of 6 of the access holes were like this. The other worked like a charm and was super easy.
Secondly, the screws for the replaceable protector piece are easily jammed and broken. I read the instructions to take extra care to seat them properly but that doesn’t help when you cannot even remove some of them without them locking up and breaking off if you apply too much force. No matter how I seated them, I had 2 on one side and 5-7 of them on the other side that would get halfway in and lock up. I gave up and bought TEK screws and used them instead.
Thirdly, the welds were not uniform and looked amateurish. Fortunately they’re mostly hidden.
We’ll see how they perform once I get them out on the trails and rocks.
