2008 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Bilstein 5100 Leveling Shocks
A 2008 Toyota Tundra CrewMax owner wants Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks for a modest lift and asks which front and rear parts to choose, along with the cost of all four. The important distinction is between a front spring-perch leveling shock and a complete coilover package with replacement springs.
How the front leveling arrangement works
This Tundra's Bilstein 5100 leveling arrangement reuses the original Toyota front springs. It is not presented as a complete coilover kit that requires buying new springs. The adjustable feature relates to the front spring perch and the resulting ride-height setting; it should not be confused with an external adjustment for damping firmness.
Keep the part references with the application
BE5-E428 and BE5-E429 are the front-and-rear part references associated with this recommendation. Use both references when asking for application assistance, but have the exact truck configuration checked before ordering. Do not choose by the 5100 series name alone or assume that every 5100 provides the same height options. The desired setting must remain within the instructions for the applicable front unit.
Build the four-shock order correctly
For a complete replacement, distinguish front units from rear units and confirm the required quantity at each axle. Rear shocks should not be assumed to create lift simply because the front units offer leveling adjustment. Ask for an itemized quote for the matched set and clarify whether the truck retains its original springs and has any other lift components. This avoids confusing a four-shock purchase with a complete suspension lift package.
