Looking for decent shocks & floor liner mats for my 2000 Tacoma 4X4 extra cab?

I have decided to sell my Jeep LJ & focus on my 2000 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 extra cab. I intend to keep the stock hight on the suspension, but I am running 31X10.5 BFG AT's. After 148000 miles my ride is getting a little rough, so I think some new shocks are in order. Any recommendations? I am not looking to spend $$$$$$$ I just want some good shocks for street/intermediate trail running. Also I was looking at some "Weathertech" laser cut floor liners, but their website says they don't make them for the 2000 year model. However they do sell them for the 2001 Tacoma? I don't believe the interior is any different between the two years?? Any ideas for floor liners??

Not sure about Weathertech but I've been running Husky floor liners for a couple of years now and really like them.

I'm not sure about that year, but they "don't make them" for my truck because it's a stick. For my truck, I can get them and you just have to notch the top of the mat to make room for the clutch mechanism. Because you have to modify the mat they won't say it's made for your truck and with all the Toyota floor mat issues i'm sure they want nothing to do with that headache, but the floor area is the same for stick and auto.

Costco has some nice floor mats with super deep channels for collecting debris (~$17 for 4 mats). Huskys are also nice from my experience.

Tan, black, and grey I think.

I would look for some "take off" TRD front springs for your truck and just use the stock bilstein shocks that came with those trucks during those years. I really liked the ride of my 99 TRD. Never did a damn thing with the front end, just helpers in the back and stock shocks when they wore out. Someone may correct me but I thought the front springs were different on a TRD vs. a Non-TRD. I know the rears are not.

So you do have the floor liners in your Tacoma,but they needed to be notched? My 2000 is a stick as well. If you could post a picture of how you had to notch them it would be great.
