Recommended shocks for Dmax?

**trucker111** · August 28th, 2010 03:38 PM

suppose you want to replace the shocks (stock)(front and rear) of your Dmax to increase the ground clearance, is the brand Rancho (below) good enough? or do you have other recommendation?

Btw, do you know how much will these shocks cost?

Front:

Rear:

Ranchos are good but I would still stick to Bilsteins HD. (thou i doubt it this would increase your ground clearance) Basically, added comfort without compromising durability ang garantisado.

do you know the price tag of Bilsteins HD?
how about the Rancho above?

FYI
based on Rancho's site http://www.gorancho.com/shocks.php?shock=quickLIFT, medyo tumaas ang ground clearance.

Nope. Just more durable and added comfort.

I'm also planning to change the shocks of my hilux..pwede rin ba kung sa likod lang ang palitan? Yes. But i would only suggest this if the replacement that you would put would be OEM (same as those in front) but if you plan to mount upgrades (Bilstein, Rancho, etc), I would suggest you replace all 4.

Saang reputable shops pwede bumili at magpakabit? Depends on what brand of aftermarket shocks you'd install. RATS, for one, specializes on 4x4 upgrades. I'm not sure but i think their shop is located along Blue Ridge in QC.

Mavo-void ba ang warranty ng pick up pag nagbago ng shocks? Yes. Unless your already dead set to perform the change despite your truck is still under warranty, i would still suggest that you wait until warranty expires before doing any upgrade. Sayang din warranty e. Who knows, you may still need it.
