    Ya that's common. I've even seen members use both, OR suspension on the front and Sports suspension on the back or vice versa.

    For 3rd gen blue shocks are from the Sports, the 3rd gen Offroads are yellow with blue dust covers Bilsteins (2nd gen OR and Sports are both yellow shock/blue dust cover Bilsteins as well)

    I have a month or so with the 3rd gen OR front coil assembly swap on my 15’ AC Sport. Provided the lift that I was looking for probably around 3/4 of an inch. The best feature was the elimination of the extreme body roll when cornering that I experienced with the stock front suspension with 90k on it. Allegedly the 3rd gen assemblies had 50k on them when I bout them. Over all happy with my purchase. I was on the fence between the swap and 5100s set at .85, which I think would have been good as well, but like I said very happy with it and install was super easy.

    im gonna look for the third gen OEM part numbers and check the tags on mine and make sure someone didn’t already do what I thought. My buddy owned this truck before and he never mentioned it

    The product number on my 2015 stock Bilsteins that I took off of my truck is 48510-AD061:

    Also the third gen coils have one more turn in them, 2nd gen has 8, where 3rd gen have 9

    That coil info helped. I couldn’t see the part numbers while on the truck but I counted 8 coils.... so it’s Gen 2 OR stuff

    Good, glad it helped. Yeah you’ll be able to physically tell the difference between the 2nd gen and 3rd gen coil stack when they’re side by side, but it’s always good to know before buy so you know what to look for, to avoid any scams. FYI, If you do end up finding and buying 3rd gen OR front coil assemblies, the coils that have a red and green dot are installed on your driver side to compensate for the taco lean.

    This is mine with the 3rd gen coil assemblies up front with 265/70R17s and I have Hellwig helper springs in the back.

    Sorry for the delay. Measurements were taken on level ground with an almost full tank of gas (has probably 30mi on it, so maybe a couple gallons shy of full) and maybe 150-200lbs of gear in the back (I just put on the softopper and some of our camping gear is in the back in prep for a trip we're taking in a few days).

    LF = 21.25"
    RF = 21.375"

    LR = 21.9375"
    RR = 22.25"
