    Good afternoon, Tundra-heads.

    Unfortunately my struts are leaking and I'm gonna need some new ones. Also, the LBJ's are due, so might as well do both.

    Where's the best source/brand/deals for parts for the 1st gens? Haven't had to do repairs of this sort before so I'm in the dark and don't want the cheap stuff that's going to break on the first bump.

    Mucho thank you in advance!

    The best LBJ source is the dealer, and the internet is your friend - Dealers charge 110-240 per so you have to shop.

    hmmmmm where to begin...ah yes the search button lol. JK. Seriously though there is ton of information on this site that will answer your question, just have to do a little homework :).

    Some things to think about is budget, lift vs no lift, etc. Bilstein 5100s are common, can keep stock height, reuse springs, upgrade your ride, and are affordable. good place to start.

    But, my advice is the same-ish as 805. Get OEM LBJs and 5100s.

    Make sure whatever you buy it's not on backorder or you may grow some grey/white hairs in the process of waiting due to supply issues.
