Front & Rear Shocks Shot

I slighty stiffer ride, as in "more sports car, less Buick". Like I said, I love it, some don't. If you are on a budget, I'll be posting my TRD shocks and springs, with 74K miles for sale, here on the forum. PM, if you want to see pics. I'm gonna ask $150 + shipping for all four shocks (leak free) and the front springs.

 

I got your same truck go for the 5100's I love them they ride so much better than stock I blew out my suspension so back the rear felt like a brick between two shocks and the fronts whernt to bad but they did sag just a bit Road fine off roading was sorta boring though they would bottom out all day

 

theyre digressively valved. during normal street driving they will feel firmer (not necessarily harsher) and give less body roll.

 

So all I would need to buy are these? I don't have to buy anything else to replace all 4 shocks?

 

this lift would be perfect

or just use your own coils like me they ride great 2.5 inch lift

 

On the product page for the second one, it states "will not work with no rear lift", does that mean the truck won't be level if I set the front at 0? I don't necessarily need a lift, but having the option is nice.

 

I run my rear shocks with no lift there fine, and they also state that the shock Will not work with the stock coils but they only say thatbecause they have a deal with Toyota stop coils will work fine and rear shocks will work without a lift


Someone correct me if I'm wrong

 

Aim about to pull the trigger on a set 0f 5100 on stocks springs my self . Looking for some lift an better control . Is this good ? Set up . I dont off road just daily driver .

Hope it turn out good for me .

 

Yeah there great I run them and I drive 1000 miles a week, no complaints and my truck looks great I think, pictures don't even do it justice, if your using your stock springs Put the setting to 2.5 and it will be a great ride and height is just right.. I'm soon learning I want uca's so I can get more travel and a beter lift enough is never enough

 

Yea thanks for the info yoda . Gonna pick them tomorrow . And install on the weekend or just maybe in the week . Just wanna see it on the billis . But some guys here said the run there stock springs on the 1.75 i think thats was the good ride too .

How u try to run urs on the 1.75 ?

 

it's not too difficult to install right? The most ambitious thing I've done automotive wise is change the brake pads.

 

I whent in with zero knoglege of how to do it, Farley easy I removed break line bracket and sway bar mounts only one bolt each, super simple don't worrie , I also changed my pads yesterday you'll get a lot of knoglege and know how as to what your doing when you change your springs and lift your truck

 

Ooohh yea couple of utube vid and some cold ones ill be good . Aim pretty andy with the tools hope it goes well .

 

Well I thought of it like my coils are old and the rides not stiff at all

 

I've been looking at getting 5100s for my 05 TRD Sport. Can I use the 5100s (front & rear) without adding a lift?
I would prefer to keep the stock 4x4 height and not have to do any lifting.

Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Yes you can just set the 5100's to the first (lowest setting on the clips, if you go to the second clip you'll get a level look and the last setting you'll have a bit of a pre runner look

 

What's the difference between the PreRunner and other models? (besides 4WD/better engines)

 

he meant pre runner as in an actual pre runner not a 2wd taco. aka the front end will be higher than the rear "bro lean"

 

I have a PreRunner, could I keep the 5100's at 0 for front and rear or would I have to compensate for a height difference?

 

Guess I opened a can of worms with the pre runner look I forgot they called it that bro lean
