    Installing Bilstien 5100 adjustable shocks on my 17 SR5, wanted to level and didn't like the spacer idea. Used them before on other vehicles. Hope I'm doing a good thing!!

    Should be an upgrade in ride quality from the OEM sr5 as long as you're not maxing them out.

    I liked these shocks on my previous pickup a Dodge. I just ordered Air lift air springs to help my Tacoma when I'm carrying a full load of firewood.

    Thanx for your input, feels somewhat weird changing shocks on a new vehicle!
