    One of the majors with a good history of customer satisfaction. I have their 95R leaf sets on the rear with Billy 6112/5160 shocks. :thumbsup:

    Been thinking about going with this setup. About how much did it end up costing you with the install? And i'm assuming you had to get some new UCAs also?

    I also agree, order from headstrong offroad whatever you decide to go with, I ordered a 6112/5160 setup from them. Fantastic customer service and communication.

    Got the Bilstein’s about 2 years ago when Toyota had a clearance on their 2nd gen PRO Suspension, $650 delivered. Expect to pay $1100-$1200 today. Found the 95R’s gently used for $300, local pickup. Still using the stock UCA’s. I did the installation myself. Fronts one weekend, rears the following weekend. The leaf springs went in the year after the shocks. All in all, not that hard to DIY, its pure bolt-on. There is a learning curve.

    OMEs are great! Wheelers Offroad also has great customer service, if you've not seen their site yet.

    I looked to try to find someone who could beat their price when I ordered my stuff, I could not.

    PM wheelers and call headstrong. Wheelers will give extra discounts for TW members. I got my 6112 from 4wheelparts. Local pick up and they price match.

    OME is good stuff too. I run their springs on my Lexus.

    I was always satisfied with the performance of OME suspension products. As long as you select the parts that match your loads and needs you will be quite pleased,with the performance and durability.
