    Installed these on my second gen today, through RockAuto these were much cheaper and easier than trying to track down another pair of the TRD Baja shocks I had previously (were leaking badly after years of abuse). I had them assembled at 10/8 to try to level it out with the 1.5" AAL in the rear, but it now looks slightly nose high to me. I also noticed my inner CV boots starting to rub. Looks like these have to be removed to adjust down a notch so I will just hope they settle...

    Correct, you have to compress them to drop or raise the circlips.

    y'all hear bout them new OME MT64's?

    2.8" vs the 2.3" size of 6112

    sounds like the new Ultimate Shit

    bilstein vs ome.png


    Actually...
    upon further research...
    from retailer they show approx $2400 total front and rear
    for factory travel locations. Aluminum. No reservoir. Etc.

    I guess not then.

    Sounds a little too close to a front/rear set of accutune'd Fox 2.5 adj resi
    (longer in back w/ relo)
    without the benefits of that

    I've been looking at these. I'm pretty much decided on just going with 6112's. I just wish Bilstein made a 6112 equivalent for rear shocks (I have 2024 4Runner). I can't remember off the top of my head right now, but I read a few posts of people having issues with MT64's and OME saying they needed to make a few changes to them.

    can't say I've had any issues with 6112
    they may not ride the best. But you get what you pay for.
    And I've only noticed any "non magical ride" quality upon entering areas of the US that have a reputation for real bad roads, so it may simply be the road.

    IDK if previous 4runner gen rear "6112" (5160) would fit your '24
    or if it is different in which case, I imagine Bilstein will probably come out with one, will simply be a little matter of time
    and if not yet already done, you could potentially see if they want to use your vehicle for testing/development that can result in getting a good deal

    Can anyone post a pic of their truck on the 9/7 settings? And how does it ride? Would 8/6 ride better?

    I am considering 5160's, but I've heard from a few people they had issues with leaking. From what I understand 5160s are just a 5100 with a reservoir, but I'm not sure if there's anything else different about them.

    What did you end up paying for those 8100's? And where did you get them? I've been trying to find a decent priced set but it seems difficult.
