    My Tacoma shocks/ front struts may have seen better days ? But looking at them not sure which Bilstein shocks they are they zinc shiny silver but I don’t see the lift level grooves like the adjustable 5100’s I’m not seeing the part number yet but we’re older ones without adjustable level grooves if so which level should I use for Prerunner height?running 265/70/r17?

    I think the 4600 series are yellow.
    The 5100 are silver.

    Depending on the setting and springs you may not be able to see the perch seat grooves.

    I’m looking to replace these shocks not sure which bolstering these are as they may be very old springs look in very good condition however my right front has loud clunks and seeing the part number in research can’t find the numbers that I see on my shocks for reference replacement I’m seeing 24 241618? Just don’t want to replace with incorrect shocks 2005 Tacoma v6 prerunner TRD 0ffroad M/T

    I’m in Oregon City and I thought they look like the 6112 but not sure of which model shock would accommodate the spring I have it came with truck when I bought?

    The springs are the same length, they are just different weight ratings 600lb or 650lb

    Do you want these? There are no coils but I'm pretty sure yours will work
