Tundra Bilsteins 5100 or 3rd gen specific Bilsteins 5100 - Toyota 4Runner Forum

So I'm about to do the FJ Cruiser lift on my 3rd gen but I'm unsure if I should go with the Bilsteins from the Tundra or the newer ones that are made for our 4Runners specifically.

I don't have too much extra weight, just a shrockworks front bumper and a winch fairly soon.

One train of thought is that Tundra ones are more upgradable in the future in case I decide to go with a bigger lift later.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with both? I want it to ride as nice as possible.

I don't have any experience with them, but these threads might be able to help you out. Good luck.
