    Like the title says, I would like to trade my Billy 5125 rears for the Tacoma specific RCD 5100 rears (commonly sold by Down South Motorsports). I have about 10K miles on them.

    I bought the 5100 front, 5125 rear package for when I was stock ride height. Now I'm lifted and have a softer rear leaf setup and would like 'softer' rear shocks to go with it. The 5125s feel valved for having a load in the back, so if you have a tool chest or other load always in the back, the 5125s are for you, it will make the rear feel a lot more agile.

    Located in Torrance (Los Angeles County), CA.

    Would you want to swap out in your area, or mine? FYI only have some basic tools but its not too intensive to swap.

    Do you know what length your 5125's are?
