    Check out the Bilsteins 5160 series shocks. These are the ones that were recommended to me when I upgraded to 6112s on my Tundra.

    No regrets on that purchase.

    If you are on the road more then off I would save some money and get the 5100s

    I installed the 6112's on the front and the 5160's on the rear of my 2017 Limited this last weekend; the ride quality increased substantially. I was going to put the 5100's on the rear but changed my mind; they are sitting in the box in my garage.

    Steve, as Kurt mentioned above, unless you off-road as much as on the street, save ur money. I have 6112's with 5100's in rear and the ride is a big improvement over my old trd shocks. Just my .02

    if you're going to do it, i'd spend the extra $100 or so dollars and get the 5160's. They won't cure your bed bounce, but they helped out significantly.
