    G'day all,

    Replacing my 2018 TRD SB OR with a 2023 TRD SB OR, that by it self is another saga. The 2018 has Bilstein 6112/5160 shocks, set for at only 1" to assist in accommodating the 265/75/16 BFG K02 tires. Provided a nice stance with a slight rake and eliminated the bottoming out I was experiencing with the stock shocks. Admittedly is has a little stiffer ride, but I was more than satisfied with the set up and increased suspension performance .

    For the 2018 I found DownSouth Motor Sports to be the most accommodating and they set the 6112s to the height I requested prior to shipping.

    Trying to find the same setup for the 2023 is proving to be not so simple. Most vendors do not show 6112s for the 2023 Tacomas.

    So, am hoping TW members can suggest a reliable source for the Bilstein 6112/5160 set up for the 2023 Tacoma.

    Thanks

    They are identical, simply their website might not be up to date. No changes to suspension or overall weight from 2016-2023 except for the addition of heavier power seats.

    Downsouth would be a great choice again.

    I appreciate the replies. I kinda suspected I could do that but could not find any validation. Once again, it pays to ask TW.
