Are my 5100's wrong

I picked up my bilstein's today but they dont look like them. They should be silver right? Or are some just sold in yellow?

 

unless they have new colors those are stockers not 5100s

 

You got the wrong ones ordered, or they sent you the wrong ones...those are the stock shocks. The 5100's will be silver, and said made by Racing Dynamics on them.

 

Man I knew they were wrong! I drove 40 mi just to have these within a week. Ordered them last friday, and since everyone was way backordered I figured why not?

 

That sucks, too good to be true I guess...good luck. Did you pay 5100 prices? Those stockers are probably considerably cheaper aren't they?

 

No they were not thats why I figured they were right. Im calling tomorrow morn and getting money back.

 

Where did you buy them that they don't know the difference between a stock Bilstein and a 5100 and charged you for them?

I wouldn't buy anything else from them...

 

Do they have four different slots under the silver ring or just one? If it has four then that is the same as 5100's. Stockers just have one groove

 

I went to an offroad shop here in VA. I guess they dont know much about toyota's, I could have told that from the 10 F-150 sitting out front of it.

 

Those look like Billy HD shocks.

 

there is a 5100 series shock for stock applications, then the 5100 series shocks for lifted applications

the stock application ones are still yellow...

double check the part numbers on the shock bodies...

but def contact the vendor and get them to pay for shipping so you dont have to drive back...

 

That is what they have to be.

 

ya know what though, thats the way they used to be back when it was just 1st gen tacos... things probably changed since then...

 

I received my 5100s earlier this week. Right now they are sitting in my foyer. They are clearly silver.

 

Those are the same stock bill's that came on my TRD OR. Bummer.

 

here are some on Ebay if you want them now:

Where did you get them? I am in Hampton, I called around and someone in VA Beach will have them on tuesday, but they want 450 for them

 

Interesting. The blue and yellow looks stock but the silver collar/coil seat looks adjustable (5100). My stock TRD Off Road shocks had a thin, yellow collar. I think?

 

Where did you get them from? Production Offroad?
