Are these stock height?

Do I need the part # to know?

 

Without part number, nope!

Bilstein 5100's come in the same box as 4600's.

 

Sure, roll the dice and buy some generic bilsteins off of facebook.

Or, buy some shocks from a reputable dealer and actually know what you’re getting.

Regardless if they are 4600s or 5100s they are good for a stock height truck. For FRONT only. For the rear, only the 4600s will fit at stock height.

 

LOL

@CoreysIRTaco you're not really understanding @jbrandt so I'll make it clear -

If you want shocks, just buy them from a reputable seller.

Unless you're going with Kings, Icon, etc., new Bilsteins are so cheap it's not even worth gambling on Facebook.

If you have to buy them from someone that doesn't know what they have just to save a few bucks, maybe you shouldn't even own your truck.

 

If the seller hasn’t given you any confidence they are going to fit, I’m not going to be able provide that confidence either.

Like I said, buying your parts from a reputable dealer is really the only way to get any sort of guarantee they will do what you expect them to.

If the orice is right, take a chance and buy them, then read up on how to install them. You can rent the spring compressor tool for free from most autoparts stores.

 

Hate to sound like a dick but Bilsteins are AFFORDABLE as hell for our trucks.

 

Not a mechanic here at all, far from it.

Just making the point, bluntly, that you should just buy Bilstein shocks brand new from a reputable seller. This way you know what you're getting.

 

We aren't being dicks. Just upfront with you.

It seems like you asked the seller, and they didn't know enough to give you confidence they would fit. What makes you think a couple of strangers on the internet would do any better? We don't know the seller or what exact parts those are because the seller doesn't even seem to know.


That add is horrendously generic. It doesn't even say it's for a TACOMA (there are other toyota trucks). Judging by the year range we could assume they are for a Tacoma, but that doesn't seem like a wise way to spend your money. The other thing about that add is let's assume they are 5100s for a 1996-2004 Tacoma. Is it a 5 lug or a 6 lug?? Again, it doesn't say.

YOu say you've asked for a part # but either haven't gotten a response, or you haven't mentioned so here.
