Bilstein 5100 Series Rear Shock - Toyota Tacoma

Upgrade rear suspension control, fade resistance, and ride quality both on and off the road. Factory rear shocks on 2nd and 3rd Gen Toyota Tacomas quickly fade under heavy bed loads, towing, or high-speed trail washboards, leading to excess vehicle body roll and a bouncy rear end.

The Bilstein 5100 Series Rear Shock Absorber (P/N 24-186728) is a direct bolt-on performance upgrade engineered specifically for 6-lug Toyota Tacomas. Featuring a 46mm high-flow velocity-sensitive digressive piston and a nitrogen gas-charged monotube design, this shock instantly adapts to changing road conditions. It provides firm handling when carrying payloads while dampening harsh off-road impacts without overheating.

Key Features & Benefits

• Monotube Gas Pressure Technology: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge prevents oil foaming (cavitation) to maintain consistent damping during prolonged off-road use.

• 46mm Digressive Piston: Instantly reacts to road surface changes for superior vehicle stability, reduced body roll, and smooth highway comfort.

• Optimized for 0–1" Rear Lift: Accommodates stock rear ride height up to 1" of rear suspension lift (add-a-leaf or lift blocks).

• Direct Bolt-On Replacement: Replaces factory rear shocks using OEM mounting locations and hardware without vehicle modifications.

• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Durable zinc-plated body with a clear protective coating withstands trail debris, road salt, and harsh weather.
