    Welcome from UT! If it were me, I would go with the Bilsteins. From everything I have read they last longer and are a better ride quality.

    Welcome from South FL! Bilsteins or OMEs seem to be the popular choices. How many miles? Has belt/water pump been done? How’s LBJs?
    I’ve got love for us 00-02’s :D

    Welcome from Georgia.

    Tundra trucks don't have struts, so you just need to replace the shocks.
    I prefer Bilstein 4600 series shocks. Avoid any quick-strut offered for these trucks.

    So just got my 5100’s delivered yesterday.
    The instructions listed all sub models and height recommendations except for the regular cabs.
    Looked around the web to see if these will work on a regular cab or if I need to return them.
    Any of y’all used these on your regular cabs?

    Also to answer the rust question, no rust. Trucks been in Texas since new.
