    Just call suspension lifts - they can sell you a preassembled new front coilover with 5100s and a moog spring for the front, and they'll talk you through whatever shock you need for the rear (there is a normal height, and a + 1.5" height).

    Go to the Bilstein website put your info in for ym and specs and it spits out your part numbers w/pictures.

    Your 5100 part numbers are the following -
    As @Clearwater Bill stated we're happy to help, have the product on the shelf, and could likely get stuff to you every bit as quickly as a local place that has to order stuff in. Just a thought.

    Do you know why you want 5100's? 5100's are adjustable and generally only needed if you want a lift. 4600's are the closest to stock you can get. I run these, fully assembled and marked L/R, no anxiety over compressing coils or did I get all the right parts. S.L. can set you up though, look over what they have and give them a call, best price I found anywhere.

    If you want lift here's an OME set with extra leafs (leaves?) for rear lift.

    iam very great full to all you who have answered my question
    why do i choose Bistein over other brand, simplicity, reliable , price
    i asked this question because i went to the web page of bilstein
    and in fact does shows several schocks configuration i also saw a youtube channel about all the options
    however one of the youtubers mention that for a toyota first generation crew cab RWD you could use the
    same front shocks off a 4 runner of the same year he mentions that the weight of the crew cab
    would be the difference of ride height versus buying what autozone offers regarding the part number
    i also notice that most of the web sites that i encountered shows a 5 lug product only configuration for my tacoma
    specs which is not the right one ,again im very thank full for all your advice

    Just FYI, 4600's are also Bilstein's. They're the "stock" replacements for our trucks. Word has it maybe a little better, but I don't see the difference.
    4600's are static height, 5100's are adjustable.

    4600's have a fixed spring perch, while 5100's have an adjustable spring perch.

    I am pretty sure the valving is different between the two series as well, which might mean at "stock" height 5100s would feel better offroad, over 4600s...
