  • Hardware included: mounting bushings, sleeves, washers, and nut are provided for straightforward installation.
  • Boots not included: note that protective shock boots are not included and may be added separately if you want added dirt protection.

Engineered for reliable, everyday driving and capable off-road performance, the SX6000 rear shock from Tuff Country helps maintain tire contact, stabilize body roll, and provide predictable handling across varying surfaces. The twin-tube construction and 5/8" piston rod deliver durable dampening with consistent feel after miles of mixed terrain, while the multi-stage valving fine-tunes response for a comfortable ride without sacrificing control. Pairing this shock with a matching rear unit ensures balanced wear and performance, and the included mounting hardware simplifies installation. For Tacoma owners seeking a proven, long‑lasting upgrade, this shock provides dependable damping without unnecessary complexity—and the option to complete your rear axle with a second shock for optimal balance.
