The frustration is setting in...

Hey TW, I am looking to level out my 2015 Double Cab Offroad 2wd. I have been looking into Bilstein 5100's but I cant find them anywhere (backordered everywhere I've looked). So I looked into Icon Stage 1 and was almost set on those until I saw the thread on Bilstein 6112. I need some opinions.

This is my daily driver and wont be doing much offroading. But I want to have the options in case I need it.

I guess my questions are
Is the difference in Icon price worth it?
Should I wait for the 6112?
Why can't I find any 5100s all around?

 

my answers above in bold.

 

Look down it says Not Available. I cant find 5100's anywhere. They said they are backordered due to the 6112s coming out soon.

 

Try headstrong offroad.

Either Wheeler's or Toytec said last week that their website was wrong and they in fact had a few sets.

 

Is there anywhere that sells 5100s with the coilovers already installed? I would buy 5100s if I could find them ready to go!

 

nope you either use your stock coils, or pick up some different ones with a different LB spring.
you can rent a spring compressor from vato zone or have a shop install the springs on the shocks for you.

 

Icons are much larger than the 5100s or most other standard shock options, and are also fully ride height adjustable to fine tune how you want the truck to sit.

We have the 5100s available in stock for your truck at this time.

We also can pre-assemble the 5100s with your choice of coils so they are ready to bolt in when you receive them.

 

I'm almost positive all vendors on here offer to assemble them for a fee. Best money you'll spend on suspension upgrades. Save yourself the time and cursing by not having to rent the spring compressors.

 

my bad, sorry yes vendors will do it for a small fee, but if you are using your stock springs, you dont want to send them to a vendor to have them put them on and send them back.

 

So what would be the best place to buy ICON Stage 1 from!?

 

Best customer or best pricing? Both?

 

Cough* Ahem... Cough, Cough**

 

I've made several purchases from Wheelers, I love them.

 

If you want them now, I would go with wheeler's. I ordered my aal's and received them in a couple of days.

 

Absolutely!! Love Wheeler's! Excellent customer service!

 

5100s are great. I got em to level the bitch out, and they're nice off road too.

 

I bought some 5100s from Wheelers last week that should be in tomorrow! Got the Eibach 1.6in springs to go with them. Plan to set them at 0. We'll see how much lift that gives my AC I4.
