    I am looking to change out the front shocks on my 2006 Taco...I prefer Bilstein's. I have a 3" spacer because I have a Fabtec 6" lift. I would like some specifics regarding the correct shock.

    Are you looking to eliminate the spacer? If so, I haven't seen Bilstein offer a coilover for 6" drop-bracket lift applications. Icon, Fox, and King do.

    I'm looking at the 5100 series, does that appear to be compatible or do I need to get the part # off the current Bilstein and cross-reference?
    I just want to make sure I'm getting the right part before I break down the front end...

    So you're looking for coils and shock or?

    I recently installed 5100 with OME 885
