    I'll take them. I can pick them up, the only thing is I will not be back in town until the 10th. Let me know if this works for you.

    Just curious.... are you upgrading or is there another reason.. i.e. Don't like them, didn't work as expected,
    Have different needs now?

    I am replacing soon and want to make sure these are the way to go and I don't find my self posting a similar thread shortly after.

    Sounds good, I can give you first dibs. I'm not really in a rush to get rid of them.

    I upgraded to kings. The bilsteins are a good value, especially for mostly road use, I was going to swap the coils to OME 887s but I ended up getting the kings. I'm not sure what the typical use-life for 5100s are, but they are a step up from OEM TRD. I originally got them when my factory TRD shocks were going bad (leaking), at that point the upgrade was a no brainer for me. That and the adjustable height settings gives you the option to easily level out your front if you want.

    I'm not often one to measure my truck, but I believe according to Bilstein the first clip setting above 0 should give .8" or something like that. For me it seemed to level out my truck on that setting, but there's two more settings higher than that at about the same spacing, but I never saw reason to use those. For more lift I'd have rather swapped to coils and used them at 0, which is what I was going to do before I got kings.

    Oh, and yeah, consider yourself next if for any reason the sale falls through.
