Shocks/Struts help

I have been reading up on other threads about shocks and struts, I definitely need some- as far as i can tell they have never been replaced on my vehicle and I have 145k miles. I have for sure come to the conclusion that i want Bilsteins; however i don't know which ones i want. Should i go with the 5100 front struts off of toyteclifts.com? or just the 4600's that i can find at oreilly auto parts?
I dont plan to do much wheeling- im a college student who doesnt need to be breaking expensive shit on my truck haha, plus there really arent any places around me to go sadly... :(

Also- if i go with the 5100's what shocks should i run in the rear? Because on toytec there isnt a specific bilstein 5100 for the rear named.

Thanks for any input

Since you won't be wheeling and are on a college student budget, I'd say to look for options besides Bilsteins. Lots of good shocks out there, that aren't expensive just because they have the Bilsteins name. Personally, I run OEM Tokicos, and couldn't be happier.

OEM got your truck 145K miles why not get some OEM replacements and not worry about it for long time.
 
I dont want just another OEM shock. I want Aftermarket. I had Rancho's on my Previous tacoma and they were good. Anyone running them? I also considered the height adjustable Bilstein 5100's on toytec
