    Hello fellow Tacoma folks and tacoma world members. My buddy is wanting to sell me his partially used bilstein stock shocks , but I am not sure they will fit my truck. I went online at two diffirent web sites and none said they would fit I just wanted to see what YOU experts here thought about this. The part numbers printed on the stock shocks he is selling me are these; front shock-48510-AD061, the Rear shock-48530-AD051
    My truck is; 2005 Tacoma prerunner , 2 wheel drive trd package sr5
    v6, 4.0 any help will be appreciated. Here is a picture of the shocks he is selling me.

    Don't pay much because they aren't worth much.

    they came off a 2011 tacoma doublecab off road he said. So $200 is too much for these four? will they fit my truck though; 2005 tacoma prerunner, v6 4.0 , doublecab TRD sport 2w drive,

    I wouldn't pay $200 for used stock shocks. Guys are selling them here for $100. See the link I posted in my previous post.

    For $334 you can get brand new Billy 5100's http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-1...stein-5100-series-ride-height-adjustable.html

    Agreed, $200 for used stock shocks is a waste.

    Spend the extra $100 and get a new set of 5100's...they are a much better shock, especially if you are going to the trouble of changing out the front.

    NOT WORTH $200, +1 on the Bilstein 5100's. $300 or there abouts will get you new on all four corners!

    Hey fellas I have a few more questions on these new bilsteines 5100 shocks you guys are suggesting. Is there a DiY with pictures on how to replace the front shocks and can I use the same spring that's already there?

    Question#2, I don't need to do the Rear leaf TSB upgrade thingy if I don't plan on hauling or pulling heavy stuff? is that correct? My truck is already high enough to my liking and don't want to go any higher just make sure it's level. thanks and let me know when U get a chance.

    DIY, yes..but you will need to compress that spring. that beyond the scope of most shadetree mechanics..such as myself. but if you had a friend with a compressor..CAKE!

    So the regular spring compresser tool from autozone is not enough for these springs? and I can re-use the same spring? correct?
    and do you know where I can find the diy thread with pictures on how to do the front shocks?
