    09 TRD AC stock for now
    Hi,

    I'm new here and I bought my first Tacoma 3 months ago. It's a 2009 AC TRD O-R.

    I looking to lift the front end. I was wondering if it is possible to just install Bilstein 5100 on the front end without changing the rear shock? Also, do I need something else except the shocks to complete this job?

    Thank you

    You don't have to change the rears but being an 09 they are probable in need . But its up to you .

    Thanks for the info.

    I just checked the rear end and they'll probably need to be changed soon too. I think I'll order 5100s for all four corners.
