    Bilstein 5100 front and rear shocks
    Hi there, i just installed a bilstein 5100 series front and rear shocks with eibach 2” lift coils on my V6 2019 taco. The ride became bouncy. I have not changed the sz of the tires. Any suggestions on how to minimize the bounce.. thanks

    Are you running factory tire pressure?

    Were the shocks you pulled out of the truck blue? If so, they are probably stiffer than the 5100s which would make the 5100s by comparison feel bouncy.

    lower your tire pressure a few PSI.. I noticed before I put my winch/bumper on the factory shocks made the front end bouncy... I lowered the tire PSI from 32PSI, to around 29 PSI and this solved that issue until I added a winch/front bumper.. then I was able to put pressures back up for road use.

    Remove the Eibach 2” lift coils and replace with stock coils.
    Set the 5100s at 2” lift, resulting in a firm but not bouncy ride.
