    Im needing new shocks and I was wondering if I can put the Bilstein 5100 on a stock 2002 TRD tacoma, no lift. The part search on Bilstien and other websites pull up the 4600's. I see on here the 5100's are highly recommended for lifted trucks, I was just wondering if they will fit on a stock ride hight.

    yes the 5100's will work they have setting for 0 .85 1.75 and 2.5 for 2nd gen trucks and i think its just 3 settings for 1st gen. but regardless you'll be fine with the 5100's :)

    If you want to stay at stock height you need the set from Downsouth with 5100 adjustable fronts and 5125 rears because they are shorter in the rear travel than the normal set of 4 5100s that are designed for a couple inches of lift.
