Bilstein 4600 or Leave the Hitachi shocks?

so, essentially... the OEM TRD OR shocks and coils are the softest OEM shock. Good enough for light off-roading(fire roads and light trails)... a lot more brake dive and body roll? Decent around town but with substantially more or less roll and dive than the hitachis?

 

I swapped my 2021 Limited shocks out for 4600's and I can't believe how much better the ride is. Those factory shocks were very jarring even from new. I don't notice anymore or less body roll with the new shocks.

 

4600 will be a side grade from stock. not an upgrade. waste of time and effort.
Also don't waste your time buying used takeoffs from someone.

 

I swapped out the ones that came on my off-road for 4600s last month and I can tell you it is a significant difference both on and off road. Definitely less nose dive and body roll.

 

the 4600 is not the same as the stock OR shocks....

 

That’s correct

 

Just get the 5100s and live life to the fullest...

 

Good: Stock TRD OR Shocks
Better: 4600
Best: 5100

 

I emailed Bilstein a while back when replacing my Dads shocks. They confirmed 4600s are the same in performance, diameter (46mm), valving, durability, etc as 5100.
4600 & 5100 are the same shock, except for the option for adjustable ride height and the color.

 

100% correct. Bilstein confirmed this to me a year ago.

 

This what they told me as well when I called them a few months ago
