    I had new stock Bilsteins off a new off road version put on my 2020TRD Sport 4 years ago. Much better ride. I know the 4600s are physically larger, but is there any difference in the ride? Stiffer, softer, smoother, etc? Thanks

    I seem to remember a thread on this
    Stock vs 4600 vs 5100 or something like that

    I too found my oem O.R. Bilsteins did the job just fine. Only reason I went with a Bilstein 5100 was for the 2" Lift. It eliminated the oem brake dive. Highly recommend going that route over the 4600's, for that reason alone.

    I'll assume even lifting the front only 1" with the 5100s would eliminate the brake dive, but I don't have facts to prove that.
