Replacement rear shocks for 2012 Hilux D4D

Post by MattD4D »

Afternoon all.

I am needing advice about replacing my rear shocks on my 2012 Hilux double cab D4D.
Have been in contact with the usual fitment centres such as Supa quick and Hi Q as well as
Alucab CPT.

I do not want to go the very costly route of OME and would prefer something better than the average
Gabriel and Monroe shocks. tend to stick to very soft trails and never load too much weight.

Any advice as to what shocks and best place in cape Town to try.

Many thanks.

Get hold of Hoppy here on forum, he is also in CT.

I got a set of Rancho shocks from him, adjustable. Fits standard suspension.

What a difference in ride comfort over stock shocks!!! They are wow :thumbup:
