Bilstein replacements for 2015 TRD PRO

[Endle55_5earch]

Hello! I'm very happy with my 2015 TRD PRO suspension but it's almost time to replace the shocks.

I've heard they've discontinued the Bilstein TRD PRO suspension. What Bilstein shocks should I order as a replacement?

Thanks for your time!

(Extra info: I off-road about 8-12 times a year, mainly for camping, and if I do a lift it will just be to swap springs for a 2" overall lift over a stock T4R)

Well, they are still available but pricey.

The 6112 with 5160 rear is the direct replacement but they are not identical. Most people here do not believe Toyota when it says that the PRO version is specially tuned but I fully believe Toyota.

The 6112 with 600lb front springs (standard) would be perfect for most people. They will ride fantastic with SL tires. For serious desert use or bigger rocks, the 6112 with 650lb springs are much, much better. They ride quite well on the street with my LTE Mickey Thompson ATZ P 3 but they were stiff when used with P metric tires (I know, it is counter-intuitive).

In the rear, the standard 5160 have a bad rep for leaks and also for being a little harsh as with the TRD version. For lighter duty, the Eibach rear sport shocks would be a good fit. For heavier duty, any choice of 5160, Icon 2.0, or Fox 2.0 will do great but the rear pax will feel those shocks on the road a little, no matter the tires or psi.
