    My OME stock coils paired with 5100’s ride very well on my 3rd gen, the ride is comparable to that of my stock Gen 1.

    Did your truck level out by just putting setting at .65

    Here's my 2 cents..... I have a 2019 Tacoma Sport 4x4 DCSB. The stock Hitachi shocks( didn't even know they existed before this truck) are complete garbage. LIKE POGOSTICKS. No joke. Makes the truck a bit unsafe in handling bumps and bends in the road.. floats all over the place in my opinion. Felt a bit out of control. I had a dodge ram full size 4x4 before so if anyone has the same experience the Toyota seemed VERY bouncy in comparison... fast forward 1 year and about 14K miles. I just put on Bilstein 5100's all the way around using the STOCK springs.. Mounted the front struts on SECOND RING...( leveled truck). ITS A NEW TRUCK. No more bouncing all over the freeway and now it absolutely absorbs speed bumps and driveways and dips. I should have drove the truck from the dealership( when I bought it) right to my mechanic and had this done a year ago. In my opinion, you are not gonna needs to spend A LOT of money on ICONS or FOX etc to get a wonderful ride. If you want to keep it STOCK-ISH... I found this is awesome. I also have 1.25 Spidertrax wheel spacers and Falken wild peak 3's- 265/72/17. they rubbed a little in certain positions without the small bump of the 5100's.. the rub is gone. Pics included enjoy.. BTW- i paid 349 for the 4 shocks and $310 install because im too lazy to install myself.
