Bilstein 5100's in the front to level, rear stock? Pictures?

Hope your all getting an alignment after the lift!

 

5100s IMO are nothing special...they're just capable of ride height adjustment. I wouldn't expect performance or seat of the pants to be any better than non-worn-out stock stuff.

I put the 6112 / 5160 setup on my truck, and left it at stock ride height (I use it as a truck...I don't want the bed any higher than it already is) and performance is significantly improved. I drive the 101 freeway and some of the "jumps" with the stock shocks were a handful. With the 6112/5160 setup, it's very controlled. If you're looking for a noticeable performance improvement...$150 shocks aren't gonna get you there.

 

1.1 inch front (two clip grooves visible above mount) with 1 inch block rear as I like the stance.

 

I disagree, my stock sr5 shocks brand new were just like you described, overly bouncy, and with 5100s the pogo stick feeling was gone and it rides better in every way

 

Then 6112s will blow your mind.

I was comparing them to TRD OR factory shocks...I've driven on plenty of blue Tokico shocks too and they've never impressed me. SR5 / base model shocks are comparable to Monroe stuff from AutoZone...anything will be an improvement.

It doesn't cost more to build a shock that performs well under normal conditions....I don't know why they just don't do it for all models.

 

I have been on 5100s and are a great shock for my uses, my Cousin's Trail was set up with 6112s in the front and its drives nice, rides nice too but we see no difference in ride quality but I'm sure there is some difference off roading when either shocks are pushed but if you're looking for cushy ride neither are going to do that! %100s will tighten of the truck and it will be planted on the road and no nose diving.
