Best Shock absorbers for Toyota Tundra

Bilstien 4600s are awesome. Had a set on an 00 tundra last damn near 200k miles

the rear shocks i just replaced were about 50 bucks

I love them, they feel good on road and off.

I have Bilstein 6112’s right now but am switching over to the Dobinsons MMR as hundreds of miles of washboard roads have definitely taken their toll.

TRD shocks were not super happy with towing, these I changed out with Bilstein 5100's at 70k miles.

Just had new upper and lower control arms installed yesterday, with Bilstein 6112s ( set at the 2nd setting which is supposed to be 1.9inch of lift) and 5160s in the rear. The truck rides very odd, seems very bouncy between 10-50 miles per hour on regular roads. Also noticed that there are chunks missing out of the LT/RT struts, looks like the springs are making contact with the upper control arms.

Service writer gave me a ticket for Bilstein front and rear shocks on a 17 tundra, had to rebuild the front struts with the new set. I assumed it was the oem replacement... There's a small snap ring on the shaft of the shock that adjusts the spring seat (also the spring seat in this picture is installed upside down, something I too figured out the hard way).

Took a Limited double cab for a test drive yesterday (just a base Limited—no TRD). I’m glad I did because after that drive it eliminated any thought of getting one so that’s another off the list. I couldn’t get back to the dealership fast enough—it was so severely under-shocked that I was almost puking by the time I got it back. I can’t believe they would ever let a truck go for sale with that kind of rebounding, and I’m talking normal city streets—you’d be off the road in five minutes on a washboard gravel road. Maybe the off-road would be better with the Bilstein shocks, but holy cow this was bad. Interior was cheap plastic everywhere, hated the big drive-in theatre screen. The only thing I liked was the seat adjustment. Popped the hood—what a joke the hood latch is...who the hell designed this stuff? I could have folded that long tin lever with my pinky! Engine performance was OK, laggy and the transmission programming needs work. Anyway...if you’re considering one definitely wait a year until they get things sorted but wow...I was shocked...literally...
