    Got My new 5100's today from shockwarehouse.com and the Rear Bilstein 5100 leakage out of the box. The one shock is has oil in the boot and box oil stained from the in side out. The 2d rear sock has oil on the top of the shock but not on the box. The two fronts are bone dry.

    any one had this happen?

    I here only good things about the 5100's until I did some googleing to day some are not lasting two year! Send them back and get new ones or just scrap the 5100's and go with the Bilstein - HD yellow.

    2008 TRD 4D LB two wheel drive. No lift, I do tow with the truck.

    I plan on doing the install my self at a buddy's shop.
