shocks
I don't want to spend allot but i want a good ride in the mountains. the stock ones are way to soft with the winch on the front. are the 5100's the aftermarket ones from bilsteins not your factory ones you get from dealer

Are you talking about front, rear, or both? For the rear - Personally, I've run OME (Old Man EMU) on my previous tacoma and they were nice shocks (smooth) but higher price tag. The ones I've really been impressed with are Doestch Tech. I've had both the 3000 series and the Prerunner 8000series on both my jeeps. They're under $50 each on their website. Can't beat that.... http://www.doetsch-shocks.com/2.asp
