Shock absorbers Bilstein or Dobinsons

Went with Dobinson 3” coils, struts and shocks (heavy duty shocks for the rear). Truck feels planted now, a good bit firmer and much of the dive is gone.

It might not matter, but those 5100’s are specifically valved for stock springs. I realize people put aftermarket springs on with them, but your best ride is going to be with stock.

I put 5100's on my 2011 SR5, set it at the highest setting on the front with the stock springs. I put TRD springs on the back, which did raise the back a touch. The ride is harsher in the back and much better up front.

I run 5100s one notch up to be closer to level but not nose high when loaded. Factory springs and no complaints.

If you have the $, Bilstein 5100s run fantastic on Toyota pickup and 4wd/4runners. They are a little pricey but you'll feel the difference.

I recommend bilstein. I have the yellow and blue version and they ride great. Still going strong after ten years.

Get you some Bilstein shocks and you're all set for this sticker:

Put new OEM springs matched with Bilstein B4 and they're a bit stiffer now. Awesome for cornering but definitely not as "lush" as they once were. Hopefully they settle a bit more.

Typical issues (my car had all of these save the throttle body): -Dampers are normally done by 80k miles -Front lower control arm bushings tear and fail

The original shocks were completely shot so I replaced them with Bilstein B6 shocks. The ride feels incredibly stiff on most roads.
