    Bought a used 2018 4Runner with 60k miles on it a couple weeks ago. Super clean and bone stock from what I could tell, other than the BFG Trail Terrains. I tossed some window visors on, blacked out logos, tint and new -18 offset wheels. I was about to pull the trigger on some 5100's and then as I was walking around the back, caught the silver shock body in my eye. The fonts were not obvious due to the boots, but not sure how I missed the rears.

    Appears to be on the second notch already in the front. I can see 2 open notches above the perch. My daughter has a 2014 and mine did seem a little more leveled than hers. Glad I noticed before ordering some!

    Well its apparent that you were ready to spend some money to upgrade, so might as well just get some 6112's ;)

    Sounds like you are still on stock springs. Could always upgrade those. How's the ride? I would describe 5100s on stock springs as "squishy".

    I believe it is stock springs still. Feels good, but definitely smoother / maybe a little squishy or "floaty"? I'll eventually do a full revamp of the suspension as I tow a trailer and will probably do some armor down the road. For now I am happy with it.
