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.

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.

couple of links......I just put 5100's on all four corners on my '14 Tacoma.....

front 5100's are adjustable to give a 2" level lift.........plenty of shock for the Taco truck
