    i call to order a full set of 5100's for the new taco, b/c they dont have a set listed on ebay, and they wont sell them to me b/c they want confirmation from bilstein that they are the same for the 09. they said they got confirmation from the local yota dealer that they are...and i told him that i just traded in my 07 for this 09 and the suspension is identical...but yet they insist on waiting for confirmation from billy. if they wont let me buy them by monday afternoon, i guess i'll have to go somewhere else and pay a lil bit more...craziness

    Thats the first time I have heard a negative thing about them.

    Why not just say its for the '07?

    i shouldnt have to lie in order to spend my money on a part

    if i want to buy a part, it shouldnt matter what it does or does not fit. if i say its fits and want the part, they should sell it based on that.

    Just buy them for the 07 or 08. Since they are identical.

    Obviously the person you are dealing with isn't too bright. They shouldn't care what you are doing with them.

    Tell them you need better shocks on your bed for more comfort, when you and your significant other are going at it. LOL
