I own a 2012 Tacoma that now has Bilstein 5100's.
After 100k they are starting to sweat and bottom out.
I am now looking at buying Bilstien 6112's for the fronts and 5160's for the rears.
Any here know an outfit that sells shocks that you can recommend?

I get mine from https://wheelersoffroad.com/product-category/toyota/tacoma/2005-tacoma-4x4-and-prerunner/I plan to replace my 5100s this summer with 6112s, but I run OME shocks in the rear. Wheelers pre-assembles them if you want to make it easy to swap out if you don't have a spring compressor.

Rockauto.com has the best prices. I bought the fronts, completely assembled with the coil springs for just a few bucks more than the bare shock.I took me about 1/2 hour to change each one out.

Thank you, I will check them out. As stated above, Rock Auto will be the cheapest, but before you buy search for a discount code, it'll save you some $$$.

I use Rock Auto for OEM parts quite a bit, but theres a lot of aftermarket items they don't have, or at least don't list.
