    Bilstein 5100 Shocks Lifted 2”
    I just purchased new leaf springs for my 2008 trd sport.

    I bought
    $236 skyjacker TCR515S 1.5-2" softride leaf spring - pair
    skyjacker TCR515S they have a lift of 1.5" - 2". I was told they bolt right on and that they come with everything.

    My question is do I need longer shocks to accommodate the lift?

    If the stock shocks will work what is a good replacement brand that aren't to exspensive. I don't mind spending a little more I just don't want to go overboard.

    Figure while I'm changing the leaf springs I mine as well change the shocks.

    Also I don't know if they come with new u bolts ( they said it comes with everything I need but I worry about this stuff and want to make sure I have ordered everything I need) would I need longer u bolts also if they didn't ship them?
    Thanks in advance

    Will need Rear shocks OEM will not work. 5100s will work your new leaf pack is 3+1 OEM U bolts should be fine I think
