    Just swapped out shocks on my TRD with 5100 ' s this past Friday and have set to highest setting for max lift and I think they ride much better than stock shocks. Put almost 300 miles since install and I'm very pleased with them. Louisiana roads are mostly poor with potholes often........have a few drain grates in road on my way to work everyday that usually jar you pretty good and I hit em this morning and hardly noticed them!

    Did you get the height adjustable version? How about the rear? Do you have the model number? Thanks.

    5100 is the model I believe and that model is height adjusting for front but no adjustment for rear. I replaced all four and feel like the rear is a bit "sturdier" for towing purposes. I have an 18' trailer to haul my tractor on and last time I hauled something heavy was before I changed out shocks and ride was good hauling my 02 ext cab silverado back home to change out the fuel pump. Silverado plus about 80 gallons of diesel in the tank on the front of my trailer. Can't wait to see how she tows after my upgrade.

    I believe the rear is also adjustable too.

    Oh I see.

    I am not planning to lift anyway. Just want to stick with the stock height.

    You can do stock with the 5100'S and have the option to change height in front down the road if you ever desire. Hope you get it figured out! Good luck.
