Since Bilstein 5100s are out of stock, what options are available that are comparable?

    I have a 17 Sport 2WD, and I was going to put 5100s all around to accomplish a small lift, but quickly found out… they’re all out of stock. Been looking for several months and never have come back in stock. I’m most familiar with this lift and haven’t really branched out, so I’m curious, what other lifts are comparable (ride quality, lift, level etc…) I’m new with the 3rd gen, my last lift I did was on a 1st gen with 5100s and I did 1” toytec blocks in rear. Any recommendations appreciated!

    You can find them on eBay. I had the same issue with 6112’s but found them on eBay. You’re not going to be able to buy them preassembled but you can definitely get them.

    I've been contemplating this option as well as it's hard to find 5100s and have heard these are just rebranded ones. Also cheaper! I searched that mega thread. Guys were saying bottom clip is 1" lift, middle is 1.5", and top is 2".

    Yes, apparently these are just rebranded 5100s.

    Have you tried the Truck shop in Miramar? I see you’re in San Diego they did my lift and they had them in stock.

    Top setting ended up being 2.25” for me because I’m 2wd, was told it’s 2” on the 4x4. Best part is Toyota installs these themselves on top notch with stock UCA, so no need to drop double the cost of the shocks on an aftermarket UCA to properly align your truck.

    Was on the phone with shock Surplus, He said they are getting a few 6112's Tomorrow that are not spoken for yet.
    I paid and placed my order. I'm going with #4-3 Clip location. :mudding:
