They are almost 1 year old. 25k miles. Icon recommends 50k mile rebuilds. I bought them for $979, not sure what I will ask yet. Standard travel, with resi. Rear: collapsed length - 14.85", extended - 24.2"

DownSouth Motorsports just quoted me $115 each for rebuild.

After putting OME stuff on my buddies 4 runner, and running OME monotube shocks on the rear of my truck and comparing them to the 5100s on the front of my truck, stick with tbe bilstiens. Their quality is much better.

That stated, if i had to do a similar lift (~2in all around on my truck) I would NOT go with 5100's but instead id go with the 6112's in the front and probably 5160's in the rear (or 5100's). The 5100's ride on my truck is absolutely great, no complaints, but for not a while lot more the 6112's are going to be even better, way better than OME stuff, and they come with coils.

I would say just the opposite! I know a few people (myself included ) that started with 5100's just to have them blow, leak etc within a year and we didn't do any hard core wheeling. The improvement to OME was huge. My setup is 6 yo and only now am I thinking about upgrading.

I mean you definitely cant go wrong with either, both are a good budget shock.
