    Would 4600 series bilstein’s with 20,000m on them be an upgrade to my stock ‘21 SR5 shocks? Seller wants $60 for them.

    depends on what shocks you have, if the stock black ones, yes the 4600 will be a little firmer, more controlled. If you have the OR package shocks, then no, as they are pretty good for stock setup but not as good as the PRO suspension.

    But it is a lot of work to remove coilovers for new shocks with 20k miles on them. Personally I would keep what you have and switch to something better when the stockers start losing dampening. Stock black shocks last for 50-60k miles, OR shocks are usually good for 60-80k.

    Thanks for the reply, I will take your advise and replace with new when mine are worn.
