    I just recently bought a 2011 Rock Warrior with just under 106K miles. It now has over 108k miles. I Just noticed that the struts are the Toyota Bilstein struts. Just wondering if it's possible that they are the original struts. I didn't look at the rear shocks. It rides fine, so I don't think they need to be replaced anytime, soon. Even though I do want to swap them out to either the 5100s or the 6120, eventually. I can't imagine that they are still the OEM struts and shocks.

    Also, I've read that the Rock Warrior has a higher rake in the rear, compared to a normal rake. Is this true? If it does, then it makes sense why I still have a rake with a Leer high rise topper, which appears to be pretty heavy. If so, what's the purpose of the higher rake on the Rock Warrior and what Bilstein shocks should I get for the rear when the time comes to replace the shocks?

    Very likely they are still the original. I had a 2011 Rock Warrior that I traded in a couple years ago. It had 107K on it. The original 4600s were working fine. The dealership suggested I go until about 140K before changing. Bilstein said "replace when needed" but wouldn't give a number.

    Can't speak about the difference in rake.

    My original black shocks in the rear were shot at 30K.

    A Leer hi rise camper doesn't weigh much more than 200 pounds. The 4600's are excellent shocks.
