    What is the cost deference and performance deference.

    I did 5100s from wheelers offroad...

    They are stiff... I'll say that... much stiffer than the stock sr5 shocks..

    But the control is nice.. minimal rear body roll... nice rebound... good, minimal payload drooping over bumps..

    Can't speak for dirt logic.

    Did you pre-load them? I put 5100s on with no pre load and OME 881 coils and the front feels the same as stock, better if anything. The rear is stiffer but the 3 leaf AALs are to blame for that.

    I've never heard of Dirt Logic before so I can't speak to those

    Nope... but I do have the 4 leaf tsb from toyota for the sagging/ rusted springs.... most likely my issue .

    Not saying they are uncomfortably stiff..I bought my sr5 with 40k on it....

    Purchase a 3inch fabtech dirt logic lift kit. When I got my truck back from the shop I notice the back shocks are not dirt logics. There bilstein 5100s. Are they good?

    5100s are basically the same quality as stock TRD suspension but the fronts are adjustable...if you were told you were getting Dirt Logic and they put 5100s in instead, I'd say something to them. If the Dirt Logic's were more expensive and you paid for them, you should get credited back the difference or they should switch them out for you.
