I have a non-TRD, would it be worth upgrading the shocks?

    I'm strongly considering going with the 5100s now I think.

    I'm not interested in lifting the truck any, I just want a smoother and more controlled ride. Would 5100s alone help me with that?

    I'd go 5100's unless... You wanna buy my stock TRD OR's with 27k on them $50. Then I'd def recommend the blue and yellows

    hi lundy, I wasn't sure if you were referring to me or PA452, if you were referring to me, thanks for the offer, that is a really good price, but I had driven a new 2011 trd offroad to test out the shocks, and i really like the bounce of the sr5 shocks, i actually prefer it over the stiff suspension, however, I def agree, on the highway, that sway could def be MUCH better.
