    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.

    warranty should be the same.

    And yes as a package i guess. But you should always measure your own truck and get rear shocks that fit it appropriately so.



    also FYI..this is 1st gen..not 2nd gen stuff.

    I'd love to do a full OME w/ 883 UCA LCA and Dakar / ALCAN. Maybe someday. But right now I just need shocks that will fit the stock TRD suspension, and that I don't necessarily have to get rid of later if I do end up replacing the coils and leafs.


    So that's why I've been leaning toward 5100s all around, but I keep reading conflicting information about the rear 5125s v 5100s. I plan on calling DSM today and figuring it out and buying them. However if you all think I should definitely go w/ the 5125 over 5100 because I'm not lifted and I might break something... Tell me.


    Ok with that said, can I just buy those OME nitro shocks w/ current setup and then later fix rest of suspension? Or will I blow out or fail to even mount the shock due to length issues?


    Goal here is to save money and progressively upgrade truck...

    Just a few little things. It's my DD
    Didn't notice the 1st gen part. But I've owned all gens of tacos but I did think it was for a 2nd gen.

    When I just bought my shocks the 5125's only come with a 90 day warranty. 5100 have a lot longer of one. Not sure why.

    Ben, i think you need to just suck it up and admit that your ome set up is just as good as a bilstein/eibach combo. You have no evidence to back up your claim other than your own opinions based on comparing what? The stock shocks vs stock shocks and spacers vs your ome set up? Deal wit it.
