Bilstein B8 5100 Front Shock Absorber, Ride Height Adjustable — 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma

The Bilstein B8 5100 Ride Height Adjustable front shock is the cleanest way to level a 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma without stacking spacers on top of your OE coilover. Multiple snap-ring grooves in the body let you reposition the spring seat for 0–2.5 inches of front lift using your factory springs — no new coils required. This is a single front shock absorber, zinc plated, with a stem upper mount and 14.2mm eye lower mount.

The internals are what set it apart from budget units. The 46mm monotube design runs a digressive piston with a self-adjusting deflective disc valve. That means consistent damping under varying loads and terrain without the fade you get from twin-tube shocks pushed hard. Collapsed length is 17.03 inches, extended is 22.59 inches, with 5.56 inches of stroke travel — specs that matter when you're confirming clearance on a modified build.

Bilstein backs this shock with a limited lifetime warranty. We recommend this unit for 2005-2015 Tacoma 4WD Base and PreRunner owners who want a practical lift solution that doesn't compromise on damping quality. If you're running the stock springs and want a leveled stance, this is the straightforward path to get there.
