2nd Gen 5100 Shocks In Stock

Hey benca...thank you for the props! We probably wouldn't be where we are, with out the support from the many members of TW, and that's a fact! And we don't ever forget it, so we try to take care of everyone to the best of our abilities.

We do offer the Fabtech(6"), Pro-comp(6") and RCD"(4.5") kits. For anyone interested, shoot us a PM with what brand lift you want, model year, and whether your Taco has VSC or not. We'll check price and availability and shoot you back a quote as soon as we can.

Thanks!
Marco

 

Happy about my order for some fronts, sad about not being able to get the rears. Very happy about the price but would have been happier with the discount for ordering a full set. Thanks for the great pricing regardless!

Guess I shouldn't have gone on the date with the wife...would've seen the posting of back in stock earlier

hip

 

Ordered a set of fronts yesterday.. Thanks guys!

 

Just ordered a set of fronts. Hopefully you'll be able to find a few more rears.

 

Psyched to get the fronts I ordered today... Just wondering how you'd price the rears if you get some in. Will it end up being the same as if you were able to get all 4 at once?

 

I'm in the same boat as you guys^^^. I missed ordering the rears by about 3 hours. I'm sitting at work when i finally get a chance to log on to TW and see Downsouth has new stock in, but when i called they told me all the Front and Rear sets went in the morning. I ordered the fronts anyway because it is a great deal and they helped a brother out by shipping to the great white north. That was on the 21st so hopefully by next week i should have them then ....up we go.

 

pm'd to see whats in stock...

 

Just got my fronts in today. Can't wait to get the rest of my lift and my wheels; just waiting on my wife's first paycheck!!

 

Thanks a bunch, DSM! Fronts are on the way...

And yes, excellent customer service!

 

Fronts just delivered! Now to find time to install these. Also, it's hard to believe that little adjustable ring can support the load that's being placed on it.

 

well, kind of....it supports the spring perch that supports the load...

 

Sonny,
Im thinking about going with 5100s all around, and an AAL 2" in the rear also (with the front at 2.5").
What problems have you heard of arising with those settings....

Cheers

 

None specifically that we've heard of. Depending on the model years, if you search the topic here on TW, you will find a few random cases of a vibe here or there. And also, many here will recommend adding the UCAs for better handling. At the 2.5" setting, some say that the steering feel at highway speeds is a bit wandery. But in all honesty we don't ever hear back with any issues on this set up. We run Kings at 2.5" on our shop Tacoma, with Bilsteins in the rear, and stock UCAs. No Problems!

Thanks,
Marco

 

Is a UCA necessary with a 2-3" lift?
What is UCA/ what does it do?
How much do they cost?

beginner questions... i know

 

Is a UCA necessary with a 2-3" lift?...Not required. Recommend as a performance/handling enhancement.

What is UCA/ what does it do?...Upper Control Arms. They provide far more camber adjustment over stock UCAs, and have additional caster built in to them. With some coil-over kits, they also allow for a bit more wheel travel.

How much do they cost?...Depends on the brand. We sell the Total Chaos ones. Use promo code 'TCDISCOUNT' for the forum member discount.
