    As stated in title I blew out my rear 5100 shocks after 2 years or so of use.
    Looking to replace with a better quality shock without breaking the bank.
    Either another set of 5100's $199, OME $219, toytec boss $209, or icon for $319.

    Any and all feedback welcome.

    Btw I'm running toytec ULK 3" up front w/ LR uca's and dakar complete replacement leafs in the back.

    Thanks

    The 5100's have a lifetime warranty, IIRC. You might want to contact Toytec.

    Thanks but what if I want a better quality.
    Boss, OME, Icon etc.

    Looking for people that have a 2" lift in rear and why they advise a certain set up.
    Thanks for any input

    I was told by toytec that the fox 2.0 was for a truck with 0-1.5 inches of lift.
    Since I have 2" lift in the rear they said the fox was shorter than the billy 5100
    And not to run them?

    Anyone running 2" lift in rear and not using 5100's??
