    I’m looking at purchasing a Bilstein 5100 setup for my 2017 Tacoma DCSB 4x2.

    Is anyone running Bilstein 5100’s on all 4 corners with Eibach coils and Old Man EMU Top hats up front?

    What’s everyone’s experience and how’s the ride with the above setup?

    TIA

    Keep in mind the stock coils are 700lbs+ alot of owners get aftermarket 600 and 650lb coils, not necessarily the fault of the shocks.

    I'm a huge fan of the stock coils and leafs (with overload) because it's stiff and I'm on the road mostly hauling with 500lbs+ in the bed at all times.
