    we can use the stock trd bilsteins in the rear so i would think 5100 would work. Idk they might be too long unless you lift the rear though

    Stock replacement 5100s yes but they will give you a harsher ride I would think

    I would try to get those rotors turned again and the rear brakes last forever on these little trucks

    gotta pay to play, most lifted trucks will. partially why i'm considering going to a more modern full size v8 with LT. these four bangers get crappy ass mileage with little power to boot, kinda eliminating the reason to run the 4banger to begin with.

    i think even a 3.0 or 4.0 engine will make a huge difference especially geared correctly

    Hey Ryan,

    I don't know if you already had your 100k service work done.

    Here is my 2 cents:

    Front brake rotors - Yes, you can replace these.
    Front brake pads - Brake pads are good until they get down to 2mm Rear brake shoes - Same as above, you can replace them when they get down to 2mm

    **Most brake shops, including dealership offer free brake inspection, they can let you know how much brake depth is left.

    Oil change - IMO, oil change every 6k-8k depends on how the engine has been running (towing or not towing)
    ATF fluid flush - This can be done every 120k
    Rear diff oil change - I change mine every 60k, but it can be done every 120k
    Coolant flush - Yes, good to have it flushed at 100k
    Spark plugs - The iridium spark plugs (in the 5 lugs) are good for 100k, so this would be a good time to replace them. FYI 6 lug spark plugs need to be replaced every 60k
    New belt - I would check the belt every other oil change interval. I had to replace mine because it was cracking. Also a good idea to have an extra one inside the cab of the truck in case the one rips **knock on wood*
