Bilstein 5100 or OME 60028 for rear 906 coils?

[Qyota]

Anyone have experience with these combos? I'm going with the 906 coils for my '99 limited. I'll be going with 5100/Tundra TRD coil on the front, probably the 2nd perch.

Can't decide between Bilstein 5100 or OME 60028 to pair with the 906's.

Yeah, another lift thread! :hungry:

I currently have the 60028s...they're not too bad. The stock ones were shot so that's all I have to go against. Thet're stiff, but not jarring. I've noticedd its a lot better going over all the bumps back and forth to work in the last week.
That said, I think you'd be happier with the Billies. If I had a chance to get them, I would. I just got a great package deal on the OMEs. You could even go a little cheaper and get Bilstein HDs...I've seen a few guys use them with 906s, and they're probably a little cheaper.

I'd agree with the option of going with the Billies. I have the 60028's and they are borderline too stiff for me.

I'd get the 5100's to match the fronts, and I'd probably put the fronts on the 1st perch like Millerad has done, his truck seems to sit nice and flat, you might need trim packers on the rears to bring the rear up if the front is taller than that.

 

[WrexHAmm]

While they are both great shocks I switched out the 60028 for the 5125s. The 60028 felt like they had more control on the road but were of course stiffer. Probably didn't help that I'm running e load tires. My personal taste would be to go with the 5125s.

 

[PitbullRescuer]

Go with the Bilsteins. I ran Bilstein HD's with 996's on my '99 4Runner, great set up. I've never had OME's on a 4Runner but did have them on my Jeep TJ, they were really stiff.

 

[Qyota]

Yeah I'm leaning towards the 5100s. They're about $85, and should work well in this application.

Thanks for your input!

Any reason that the OME shocks would be better if you carry a load a lot of time?

 

[Millerad1651]

Thanks for your input!

Where did you find 5100s for $85? I'm assuming thats each?

 

[Qyota]

I believe the correct model 5100 (Tundra 4x4) is 24-100144, and eshocks has them for $70 right now.

eshocks.com: Bilstein Shocks and Struts: Tundra - 4WD

AJUSA has 'em at $74, but they are back ordered.
Bilstein Monotube Shock Absorbers and Struts for 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA | AJUSA.com

This place has them for $72:

I'm assuming this is the correct part. '00-'06 Tundra 4x4 rear shock. And then I believe you need the 3/4" bushings for the bottom mount as well. Purchased separately.

 

[Qyota]

I just put an order in for a set from eshocks.com. I'll let you know how that works! Now to find the bushings...

Be Careful

Be careful with using that part #. The part number listed for the rear on Tundras is 24-185837 and that is from the Bilstein application guide. I'm not sure what the difference is but it's not the number I have seen others use on this forum.

Let me know how it turns out.

 

[Qyota]

Lots of online retailers are showing model 24-100144 as fitting 00-06 4x4 Tundras...so could they all be wrong? I guess it's possible.

This is the model that tbst is using in his bushing-replacement thread:

[tbst]

The model number is shown on the down south motor sports website. That's we're I ordered from. On my phone...

 

[Qyota]

Yep, BE5-A014-H7 was superceeded by 24-100144. At least that's what I'm seeing in several places.

Sorry to dig up a two month old thread but I really want to know how those rear shocks worked out for you.

Let's see a pic

 

[Qyota]

The rear 5100's have been a great match with the 906 coils. Still need to get the fronts done (TRD tundra coils + 5100s) to give an overall impression. So far, I'm impressed with the rear setup. Gave me a little over 1" lift from the stock, 165K '99 tall coils.

 

[004runnerLtd]

I have the Tundra 5100s paired up with the 906s in the rear (Tundra TRD Coils/5100s up front).

Fantastic ride. Not too soft, but not stiff by any means. Tackles anything like a champ.

Hey guys,

Any input on Tundra coils vs OME 880 for the front of my 2wd 97 4runner?
I've got quite a few questions listed here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/66976-3rd-gen-4runner-lift-information-faqs-16.html
But no answers yet. And yes I've searched the forms but am looking for more specific answers. Thanks
