    Welcome from Obx, absolutely Michael. 5100's are a solid choice. It all comes down to how you play with your Tundra. If your gonna off-road a bit, you might wanna move up to the Bilstein 6112/5160 combo or the Boss Kit. If your mainly street , then 5100's. Better post a pic of your Tundra before the pic police swarm the thread. :thumbsup:

    Welcome from WI. I have 5100's on mine, middle height setting. My Tundra is primarily a pavement queen and I'm very happy with them. Better ride than stock, slightly more capable when I get off road and the height increase gives it a better look.

    Aren't the Trd stock 4600 and 5100 the same internally? They ride the same imo.. my friend has the 5100 bc he wanted a to level.. ride the same as my trd stock 4600s.. if your not going to change the stance of your truck why waste your money

    Steeler Nation did the middle setting level the front end out. I’m buying the 5100”s to level the truck and I’m not sure what setting does it. Thanks
