    Hella 500s, Satoshi color match grill, Magnaflow Exhaust, K&N Intake, Removed Mud Flaps, and Running Boards, Softopper. Heavy Metal Off Road BedBars, OME 2" lift.
    My 2008 DCSB TRD is nearing 200K and it appears the stock suspension is in need of an upgrade. Looking at 5100's all around and maybe an AAL. Who has the best price right now?

    its not so much the best price, its where you can actually find them. I got mine from shock surplus. They were the only ones who had them in stock.

    Careful! Amazon used like new can be hit or miss. And I’d hate for a suspension component to fail and then you have no recourse.

    But unlike me if you know how to diagnose shocks and tell they’re in good working order. Go fur it!

    Hopefully the spring plates and mounting hardware isn't missing.

    Most of the time they get returned because they are for the wrong application or people change their minds and go a different route. I still give them a good check before installation though.

    Worst case I return them and get some new ones. Just out a few days.
