Bilstein 5100 vs. 5125

[preacher35]

Well, apparently, the entire FREAKING country seems to be out of Bilstein 5100 rear shocks for the 4th gen 4Runner, save one or two on ebay and amazon. Thus, Toytec has offered me a pair of 5125's. Does anyone here have any experience with the 5125's? If so, how is the ride. I definitely want something more stiff. Comments are greatly appreciated!

Well Fr. Mulcahy,

For stock height up to 2" go with 5100s, for more than 2-2.5 of lift you need more rear down travel and 5125s are a good idea from what I've read.

HA! You must have been born before Star Wars as well. Most twenty somethings have no clue who Father Mulcahy is.

I am a late-20s-something, but had the privilege of growing up with some classic television shows.
