🔧 Bilstein 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber, Model 33-230337 Review

The stands appear to be of good quality, unfortunately the wrong installation kit was supplied and could not be used. 😢

Wrong dampers! The lower docking point bushing and bushing insert are too wide to fit in the axle clevis. Extremely disappointed with the Bilstein product or the carrier, whoever was to blame. Aggravated waiting for the arrival of shock absorbers. Remove the old shock absorbers, prepare the new ones by inserting the bushing into the lower bushing with great effort, only to find that the shock absorber does not fit. I will no longer buy auto parts here.

09 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 Lower Shock Rubber Bushings and Metal Bushing Wider Than Truck Mounts! You will need to cut about 1/8 inch off the rubber spacers and also sand the metal bushing with a sander. Otherwise you will need to bend the factory bottom brackets on your truck. The shocks are amazing, installation can be a chore if you don't grind down those bushings and metal bushings. 3 stars because the instructions don't indicate any installation issues. 5 stars for shock absorbers.

Vehicle: 2007 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 with 3 inch front lift and 1 inch rear lockout. These shocks are highly recommended for 2-4" climbs. Although I only have 1" blocks in the rear, I have air bags that can raise the rear an additional 2-3 inches. I knew in advance that the lower ones Bushings and the rubber bushing had to be cut to fit the shock into the lower shock mount.The kit includes two bushings;Black for 14mm studs and Silver for 12mm studs.The Taco is 12mm OEM bushings and Bushings are 33mm
