Will both of these shocks work with my OEM springs?

    Both of these shocks should work with the OEM Springs off my 2016 tundra right? I also have a spacer lift. 04D9DC7A-266B-4E0F-AF4C-32E3094FCB6A.jpgB30A05D6-9251-46E5-B1A2-3A57C4C0724A.jpg

    Are you keeping the spacers or replacing them with the shocks? Your stock springs should work with the 5100’s and provide about 2 inches of lift on the top setting. I believe the 4600’s are the factory shocks on the TRD package.

    I’ll probably keep the spacers because I have a 3 in spacer in front w/35s

    I'm running the 5100s at the top settings on the stock springs along with 2 shims on each side. With this setup, you would remove the spacers.

    I originally had spacers with the stock shocks. It was definitely an upgrade. Any day you can remove spacers is a good day. I'm running 285/65/R20s KO2s (34.6 inch). I get no rubbing and a great ride. I also added a diff-drop in the front although I suppose that might be overkill for a 3" lift.

    For the rear I added 5100s and +3 shackles which gives me a level ride. If you raise the rear you may need to add a carrier bearing drop if you notice any drive-line vibration.

    So I could run 5100 with a shim in the front with stock springs to fit my 35’s with a minor rub and I currently have a 1 inch block in the back. I could leave that too since it’s minor huh?
