Nah the 4600's are short. Had a friend who blew a pair of Rancho's because the shocks were fully extended when the suspension was moving. The 5100's are the perfect length. They extend fully after your upper arm hits the bucket and they fully compress after you hit the bump stop. Doesn't matter if you have lift coils or stock coils.

Part number 24-187107 for the front.

I've had the 4600s for over a year now with zero issues and have jumped the truck a few times not to mention i let them extend while flexing with no sway bar

Sure there's nothing wrong with 5100 on stock coils though just extra $$$

Guys, Its Been Awhile...
So Let me start off by saying that I know I'm lazy, but that's about to change! I just ordered some OEM wheel bearings all around, lower ball joints, and maxtrac lift shackles! Also i just got some billstein 5100's for the front and rear, and now I'm just waiting to get everything together and put it on! I'm thinking about having CaliFab do the work because I have a buddy that had a tacoma that has been there multiple times and he has no complaints and recommended me there so now its just the waiting game ( Yes even the boring truck parts are fun to order)
