Bilstein 5100 help

I’m going to install them my self. I probably will just get the 5100s. There very nice and I know Bilstein makes good suspension. I don’t know why but in my head I keep thinking get the more expensive shocks they’re worth it.

I Picked up a similar set off Amazon. I was leary with quality but they worked flawlessly and gained confidence in them as I used them for my 5100 install. Really not too bad of a job as long as everything isn't rusted too badly.

 

You also get springs with the 6112. Boss 4x4 usually has good deals assembled
Edit boss offroad

 

My truck has only been in North Carolina and South Carolina luckily there’s isn’t a inch of rust.

 

Yep, pre-assembled. But they are $790....

 

I got mine 599 assembled not to long ago

 

Man, nowhere near that price now. Even the non-assembled ones are more than that

 

Pulled the trigger.

 

Be sure to search for the Toyota FM instructions for installing. It was written by the engineers that designed your truck. It saves several steps for the YouTube wanna be’s and makes for a simpler job. There is no need to bust apart ball joints etc.

 

I had to cancel my 5110 order they said they wouldn’t ship til October 23. So I figure I might as well get the 6112’s.

 

I ordered my 5100s from Boss Offroad. They had a working group discount code at time of ordering.

And look up the no spring compressor install method. There's videos of it on Tacos and 4Runners but same concept on the Tundra. Beats using death clamps to remove the spring.

 

I did the same thing and they bumped my delivery date from 9/15 to 10/21 and then they canceled it because Bilstein said they are back ordered indefinitely

 

Have you tried @Toytec Lifts for your 5100’s? Disregard, I just looked up their website and are back ordered as well.

 

I did the no spring compressor install on mine as well.

 

Everyone during COVID seems to be doing lifts lol, supply is short all over. I had the same issue, but Downsouth was able to ship.

 

Hopefully it won’t be long til I decide to ge the 6112s. I like to pay for everything I own outright but i may say to hell with it and not save it up and swipe the ole credit card for the 6112s.
