How much lift can I expect with these shocks?

These Bilstein B8 5100 shocks feature multiple snap-ring grooves that allow for different spring seat positions. Depending on your specific application and how you set them up, you can achieve between 0 and 2.75 inches of front lift.

What is the advantage of a monotube shock absorber?

The 46mm monotube design helps the shock absorber maintain consistent performance and resist fade, even under demanding conditions. This means you get more reliable damping and a better ride, especially on rough terrain or when carrying loads.

Do these shocks come with new springs?

No, these shocks are designed to work with your vehicle's original front coil springs. The adjustable spring seat allows you to set the ride height using your existing springs.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma a bit more ground clearance or just want a more controlled ride, these Bilstein B8 5100 shocks are a solid option. They're designed specifically for trucks with OE coilover front suspensions, like yours. Instead of using separate spacers, these shocks have multiple grooves on the body that let you set the spring seat at different heights, giving you anywhere from 0 to 2.75 inches of front lift depending on your setup.

What makes these stand out is the 46mm monotube design. This construction helps keep the shock working consistently, even when you're putting it to work, which means less fade on rough roads or when you're carrying a load. The digressive piston with its self-adjusting valve helps improve handling and wheel travel, giving you a more comfortable and capable ride. It’s a practical way to level out your truck and get a better feel for the road.
