| So I'm ready to switch out my rear shocks. I have the Bilstein 5100s up front and OME rear coils. My original plan was to go with the 5100s in the rear as well. But, when I started shopping I saw the Bilstein 5125s that seem to have more travel (according to the Toytech site).
For those of you that have moderate lifts (2"-3") like I do and have replaced your rear shocks, what did you go with and why. Or if someone has an opinion about this, please feel free to weigh in.
Would also like to do the rear LCAs... | |

| I'll say once I got my Fox shocks in the front of mine, it rides a whole lot smoother. Casey even said so himself. The non remote reservoir model is only a little more than a Bilstein 5100 I think, but they are able to be valved per your application. | |

| I bought Icon rear shocks, because they were on sale for $180. Also because I recognize the name as a decent brand. I also thought down the road if I continue the offroading hobby I might get Icon coilovers up front. |

| Yeah, at the time I think they were regularly $230ish, and then they went on sale. Add the discount for blue room members and they were an easy choice. I just looked and they are $275 now!
