Are they not for lifted vehicles? What differences am I not aware of?

Is there a reason we don’t talk about Bilstein 4600’s, only 5100’s?

The 4600 is for stock height vehicles, and the 5100 is for lifted vehicles.

I've had 4600's on for several years, no complaints, but I don't offroad. I replaced the xreas system with these and FJ springs and then added a 1" Daystar spacer to front to level it out, but going to remove that spacer and replace with a 1/2" spacer.
As has been mentioned the 5100's give you some height adjustability as opposed to using spacers. I like the ride, it firmer than the xreas, but I like the feel.
Check out "Tinkerer's Adventures" on youtube for some 4Runner front suspension analysis before you do anything. I did, and reason I'm removing the 1" and replacing with 1/2" spacer.

I have the 4600s on my 3/4 ton Suburban and they work well. They don’t offer the 5100s for my Suburban.
