Anyone know any Bilstein 5100 Dealers?

I'm searching for new shocks right now too and am leaning toward the billys. Thanks for the direct info here. I've been searching the forums for a hot minute trying to get some basic info and where to start looking for the product.

 

I've been doing a lot of research, just like everything I buy. Between almost everyone using them, great posts/reviews, and everywhere being completely sold out/back ordered.. Id say it would be hard to buy anything but these!!

 

Nitto'r Terra Grapplers are great with a daily drivers. If your not going to do lots of offroad then I suggest to get the passenger load range. They are smooth with no noise at all. Great with wet and snow and okay off road.

 

Nice lift.. I'd be semi-interested if it wasnt for the 886 coils. I wish to never own an aftermarket bumper haha

 

I actually found a dealer with a few in stock this morning. Had to order them from Canada, so the price wasn't the best, but oh well. Thanks though!

 

i am also waiting on the 5100's to be availiable somewhere . finally saved some dinero and no shocks, go figure. anyone have any ideas??????
for a first gen.......

 

This is a link for 5100 Billies, 2WD & 4WD for 2001 Tacoma. I just ordered mine and they were in stock. Feel free to rape the shelves, guys! They have other options as well.

Sorry, I may be completely mis-informed...are some of you saying, you only replace the front shocks with blistins? (i know nothing about shocks). wouldnt you want to replace all 4? Also..what is the benifit of adding these shocks to the front? (I keep seeing them pop up in a bazillion threads, so im curious what I'm missing, and if i should look into saving up some cash to invest in them! thanks a ton!)

 

im not sure your looking at the right shocks. the part # is not matching up with any other sites i've been looking at. i also see the your truck is a 5 lug so maybe they have your shocks are in stock but not for mine

 

Possible. I made sure they checked out for my 2WD. Still not terribly knowledgable about suspension. Found a new lead so I thought it might help out.

 

Basically, the 5100s are height adjustable. Therefore if you just place them in the front you can use them to level your truck out. The rears are height adjustable as well, but it's only to allow for lift, so you would need to add a leaf for any lift in the back. I believe the front adjusts from 0, .85", 1.75" and 2". They also provide a much better ride than stock.

 

Ooooh. I have the TSB leaf done, and my back is higher than the front, but that doesnt bother me cuase when I have a load, it gets closer to being even, though I will be putting on an avid light bar, which will weigh down my front...I do suppose lifting the front a little might be nice. Does everything you need come with the shocks? or, is it like you have to get several things to do this...lol Im sorry for so many questions. Though, they are quite more appealing now...ill have to keep my eyes and ears open for more info and start to save my pennies!

 

Well if anyone is looking for 5100's, Downsouth Motorsports has them in. I grab a full set and it will be at my house on Tuesday

 

Thank you for your order, cabletaco! By the way, we have 1st & 2nd Gens available now.

Have a great day everyone.

 

i was stalkng DSM via internet and ordered mine about 30 seconds ago. just kept hitting that refresh button

 

Just ordered the front set! Excited to be able to level out my front after the TSB rear leaf.

Is this something I should take to be installed, or can I do it myself? I ordered new wheels and tires, and will have them do an allignment, so I'll make sure I get these put on imediately before I take it across the street to have my wheels and tires put on and the allignment!

 

normally i do all my own installs but from what i hear/read you need a spring compresser and they can be very dangerous. if not for that i'd be doing it myself

 

Oh...i *try* to do all my own installs, I dont have a spring compresser...and you used the word dangerous...so...I'm thinking perhaps I'll just take them in, and when they put on the wheels/tires, I'll have them put those on too...thanks for the input!

 

i just ordered my billies from DSM. I hope it goes through and get mines in. I ordered the OME struts from wheelersoffroad, but I'm having a 2nd thought that its way too much compare to the billies. So i went ahead and ordered my billies set and cancel my OME from wheelersoffroad.
