    Are you taking about the aal or the shocks themselves?

    The 4600s will fit just get the ones for a 5 lug a few other members have them already and it's on my list....one day lol.

    As for the rear if you have a aal in then your sitting at stock height for a 6 lug which means any shock that fits at stock height will fit us ex 5100s...used trd bilsteins...fox smooth bodies etc

    I have the readylift, but I don't want to buy the wrong shocks. The fat bob ones look white which concerns me I thought they were yellow. Do you know which 4600s fit the front or do any? Just trying to save myself from buying the wrong stuff.

    The Fatbob's shocks are likely Pro-Comp shocks. Pro-Comp shocks/struts are white.

    I have the Readylift SST lift/level kit, part no. 69-5510, specific to our 5-lugs. I paired up Bilstein 4600's p/n's
    $84 24-185066 Monotube Shock Absorber, Front, Right, 36mm , Yellow
    24-185066 and
    $97 24-185042 Monotube Shock Absorber, Front, Left, 36mm,Yellow
    24-185042 to the front end, 1 each.

    The Pro-Comp and the Bilstein shocks should be interchangable - only close to OEM strut length is going to fit - the Bilstein 4600's are direct replacements, lifted or unlifted. The height increase comes from the spacer itself. The Bilstein 5100's fit on the rear, only. Part No.
    $91 24-186728 5100 Series Shock Absorber
    24-186728.

    Does the color matter because the part number you posted is linking me to silver tacoma rear shocks. They look a little different from the blue/yellow color just checking.

    Looks like it will cost 320$ after shipping. Hopefully this will increase ride quality. Have no idea how to put them on, but hey I'll figure that out later. 320 for all shocks

    The part no. is what is important. My struts up front are yellow, i'm not sure what color the rears are - I didn't do the install, or for that matter do the unpackaging. The part no's are straight copy and paste from my project record.

    The 4wheelparts database is going to throw up a "won't fit your vehicle" with our 5-lugs .. without the AAL in the suspension, technically 5100's aren't supposed to fit on the rear-end.

    The rear shocks do fit, and works Aces, with the AAL.

    Thanks for the help I am pretty sure I have the AAL, I had the readylift installed at 4wheelparts and they said that was in the kit.

    Thanks man. Sometimes I wish I had bigger tires for it, but I don't feel like putting anymore money into it. Better off to just let the next owner deal with that. Your's looks real clean as well. :headbang:
