    Are KYB struts a good replacement or should I wait until the Bilsteins are back in stock?

    I just ordered 5100 2 days ago and they showed up on my doorsteps today. Not sure if I was lucky but I went on Bilsteinlift.com and showed 1 set in stock. I was checking everyday on alot of websites.

    I currently have Rancho quicklift on the front and 9000 in the rear. They are about 4 years old and they are rusted and bottom bushing are shot. I will see how the feel with the new setup I'm going to install.

    I had Rancho on my 06 tundra.

    i would choose Bilstein again

    Yes they are. And if it shows in stock it almost certainly is. And they respond to texts if I recall. Got my Kings and the boys billies from them.

    They do respond to texts. I texted them about the stock because I wanted to make sure they actually had the shocks since no one else did.
