    Recently did a 6” lift on my Tacoma and it came with bilistein 5100s for the back but stock fronts. Can’t seem to find 5100s for the 6” lifted front or coilovers. Is there any brands that make them for the front for 6” lift and if so what should I go for if I want best ride quality?

    In the front yes because apparently they don’t make the 5100s for the front so i’m lost on what to do…

    Yeah
    5100's in the front provide, at max on their highest setting, a 3" lift so we're lost as to what you're trying to do too...

    Many DB lifts utilize massive spacers in the front instead of new UCA brackets so you can basically run stock shocks. Likewise with the rear, it's often just a big block lift.

    You may need to upload a pic of your front suspension, if it's a DB lift with a spacer then any OEM shock/strut will work.

    He likely has a drop bracket lift.
