    Looks good. I read elsewhere on the forum that 5100s are basically equivalent to the TRD (not Pro) Bilsteins, so I assume there is no reason to consider these for the rear on a newer TRD package truck since there’s no height adjustability on the rear shock anyway. But for a non-TRD truck it makes sense at that price.

    Truck looks Great!!! Message sent about your flares.

    I like what you have done. I'm running the 5100s up front with the middle setting. Stock rims for now, but when I upgrade, I'll change them to the top setting. The rears are Bilstein Off-Road so I will leave them on.

    Looks good! If you were to go with the 6112 on the front, is there a certain shock you have to use on the rear or can you pick from the 4600, 5100, or 5160? Any advantage to picking a certain one for the rear?

    Beautiful truck! I got the same color. 5100s look great. What's the scoop on the flares? Hope did you go about getting that done? They look awesome

    This is incorrect. The 5100's are a much better shock than the stock TRD Bilstein 4600's. It is an upgrade to go from TRD to 5100's.

    Okay....UPDATE. The 5100 and the 4600 are more similar than I thought. The 5100 provides lift as the 4600 does not. The 5100 supposedly has different valving internally also, but I have looked and looked and can not find any information on that.

    I’m curious too. I heard they were valved very similarly and the only benefit is front adjustability. I’d like to know for sure.

    Yeah. I've only really been into exhaust, intakes, and other power mods. Thanks to this site, I'm learning a crap ton more about other mods and these shocks really interest me. Plus I'm a generally curious type of person. Any additional is greatly appreciated!
