    My son has a 2017 Crew Max 4x4 SR5, with the black factory shocks. 18" factory wheels and tires.
    As everyone knows the black shocks wallow and just feel sloppy, especially after being in a TRD Off Road.

    I had a 2015 Tundra TRD Off Road with the blue and yellow Bilsteins and he LOVED the ride and so did I.
    That firm/slight jar, just loved the feel.

    Im looking for that exact feel and shock.

    Here's where I'm confused after hours of research.

    Some say they are Bilstein 4600's and some say they are Toyota tuned 4600's.

    Also looking at the red and blue TRD Sport shocks.

    What shock is going to give him that TRD Off Road ride?

    Thanks in advance.

    I guess I'll reply/update myself. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Installed the Blue and Red TRD sport shocks and all I can say is....DAMN.

    On road and off, these shocks are firm, responsive, really impressed. Rough ass, washboard gravel roads are easy.

    As I understand, they are made by Bilstein for Toyota. They say they are tuned or made to Toyota specs.

    The TRD pros have the Fox shocks.
    The TRD sport has the shocks I posted.
    The TRD off road has the yellow shocks.

    Blue and yellow are what come with the TRD off-road package. Blue and Red are the sport tuned version.
