Give your 5100's some extra length instead of buying new shocks

 

Avoid these at all costs. Spend the extra dough and get some 5100's for the rear. I beleive toytec makes great stuff but these are junk. On one the threads were destroyed (not me) and the other one split into two pieces after I installed it. Maybe I torqued the second one too hard but they seem flimsy to me.

I bought these to save money and get rid of my rear end "thump" (rear stock shocks bottoming out). I ended up getting a set of rear 5100's while the truck was still apart and I'm very happy.

Just wanted to add that I did call toytec and they did send me a new set. Don't want them.

 

They are a piece of shit excuse for lifting a truck!

 

I've got 5100s on the back and I topped them out BAD all the time when off road, and even sometimes on the street. I didn't have the money spend, nor want to buy another set of shocks when mine were perfectly good, so I installed a set of these extenders on them. So far they seem GREAT! Better flex, better rear suspension ride and no more topping out.

 

I've got a 4 leaf pack and a Toytec 1.5" lift block setup in the rear.I'm currently using my stock TRD Bilsteins but am topping out as well.A couple of days ago I ordered a set of 5125's with 10" of travel on the advice of DSMS and am looking forward to having the rear end set up right.

 

In a case where I want to get the front done with the money I would use to buy all four shocks wouldn't this be a cost effective solution to lifting the rear as well with a aal until I have the money to buy the rear shocks? In other words I can get a better front setup now and in 6 months or so get the rear shocks I need.
