Billstein red shock?
Ok, when I bought my 10 limited from the owner, he mention something aobut the red Billstein shocks. I have searched and look high and low and can't seem to find any info. Where do I start looking? I was told it was a dealer option. I know Billstein shocks (green usually)but what so special about those compare to Toyota's?

The red shocks are sold by TRD and are supposedly made by Bilstein. They are lighter and less rugged than the yellow/blue Bilstein HD shocks. The red shocks are a little stiffer ride though. I liked both on my 2000 Tundra, but prefer the Bilstein over TRD for longevity.

I know the color really doesn't any difference, but a reference.

What so special about the TRE shocks. Dealer item and through TRD only?

The factory Limited shocks are red and are XREAS. See if they have a hydraulic hose coming off them as that is what they probably are.They are the best you can get out of the factory for a 4Runner.

Bilsteins come in a rainbow of colors, according to what they go on or who they are making them for ,but never saw red Billies on a 4Runner or heard of a special dealer or TRD option for them.

Here's my red XREAS after I changed suspensions
