    Had these put on yesterday and they look damn good too. Paid $125 for them shipped. New OEM washers (8) and OEM bolts (4) for $40. Labor to install was $30. So $195 total :thumbsup:

    Would these ever be good for the fronts?

    Awesome, glad it worked out! And I don't know much about those struts/coilovers/whatever you want to call them, but they should be pretty much a stock replacement. If you're looking to get more performance out of your suspension, I'd look into Old Man Emu coils with either Bilstein 5100's or Nitrochargers (but that will be more $$ than what you linked)

    what springs would you recommend to mount on the bilestein 5100?

    my tacoma is 1" lifted with spacers.

    I see that there is several so I wanted to ask.

    Thanks in advance.:thumbsup:

    Are you wanting to keep about 1" of lift? I'd recommend ditching the spacer and getting Old Man Emu 880 coils then. Set the 5100's set to 0" and let the coils do the lifting. The 880's will give you around 1-1.5" of lift.

    I would like to keep it 1" or a lil over that lifted.

    Do you know a good place to get them? I searched on Ebay but not sure if they are they are the one I need.

    Also, If i would like to lift them a lil more in the future, the shock would do the Job, right?

    Headstrong offroad, Wheeler’s, or Downsouth Motorsports are good places to order from.

    And yes, the 5100’s would work with a little more lift. I’d personally reccomend old man emu nitrochargers over the 5100’s though if you’re going for a few inches of lift, since they’re designed to work specifically with the old man emu coils. But the 5100’s will work as well.

    It’s not reccomended to add preload to the 5100’s when they’re used in conjunction with coils that do the lifting though, if that’s what you mean (so just set them at 0” and you’re all good) but they’ll work with up to 2.5” lift.
