    What rear shocks for a 2004 Taco Prerunner TRD driven fast on rocky bumpy roads?

    Shocks are never going to make up for the design deficiencies of a leaf spring rear suspension. Want to drive fast then it's long arm trailing link suspension and coilover shocks and springs.

    Firestone Tires....Any Good ?

    Which tire? What size? What usage? I've run the Destination AT on my old Toyota Tacoma in LT245/75R16. They were great on the highway. For most uses I think there are better choices out there for the money.
