    What bilsteins came stock on the 01 truck? I forget what they were when I replaced them with the piece of shit Rancho's. Whatever they were, they rode really nice.

    They are made for toyota specifically by Bilstein. You can order them via Toyota OEM parts...but they will be very pricy.

    If you want a really smooth riding shock, also look into OME kits. And they are yellow :D

    not to thread jack...but what is the difference in the 5100's and the 5125's other than the lengths offered?

    I was also considering the 5150's but they are just pricey...

    will need new shocks when I get my wheelers 5 packs.
