    They’re good. Depends on what you’re looking for TBH.

    Ehhhhh...ok but nothing special. Its a cheap shock you can't expect too much. If its the pro suspension then the trd bilsteins are not even remotely comparable

    From what owners have said, they are better than the base shocks that come on the Tundra but depending on your needs you may want to upgrade. Would help people answer if you provided what terrain you will be driving on. I believe the offroad package used Bilstein 4600 shocks, many here go to a 5100 as an affordable upgrade and if you need more they move to a 6112 front/5160 rear. But again, all depends on your needs.

    I replaced the stock shocks on my 1794 edition with Bilstein 4600, front and rear. Great upgrade for me and couldn't be happier. That being said, I drive mostly on pavement and a few gravel/dirt roads for work. If you off rode, I would think you need something more.

    TRD Off Road shocks are Bilstein 4600 shocks painted red, and they are the best choice for the 99%. I have used 4600's exclusively on my Toyota trucks for about 25 years.

    They get the job done but you won’t win the Baja 1000 with them.
