Bilstein shocks, worth it?

Hi,

a guy's selling locally a set of 4 Bilstein shock taken off a 2015 Tacoma with 1000 miles on it for 250$.

Mine's a 2015 DCLB 4x4 SR5 and come with the Toyota OEM black shocks. I assume the Bilstein come with the TRD package? Are they a worthwile upgrade? Where they stiffer for added payload or softer for better suspension extension when offroading?

Is this a good deal, even if it's only to grab them as spares for use in a few years? I had no idea how they sell for new...

 

It's a good deal, not a great deal. You can get all of them new for about 320 bucks off Amazon. I don't think they will really effect payload but they definitely will be more stiff.

 

I'm assuming these came off a TRD Off Road? What happened to the coils?
When I had them on my truck, they weren't bad, per se, but after a few trips up to the mountains for light off roading, they just didn't meet my needs. If you only use them for on road, they're decent. However, $250 seems a bit high.

 

Not bad I think just geting Bilstein 5100 shocks for $350 are way better also
you can set the front at .85 and your truck will be level yes the front 5100
are adjustable from .85 -2.50 had 5100 on my truck set at 2.50 with aal 1.50 rear[

 

Not really a good deal at all. I've sold mine for $100 for all four with less than 500 miles. I've sold two sets of four in the past all for $100.

 

Don't get the yellow and blue ones. They are stock shocks. Get the 5100's as mentioned.

 

Thanks guys. I'll pass on them based on your comments and will grab good ones when I'll need them.
