OEM Bilstein shocks part numbers (red Bilsteins with remote reservoirs) from 2025+ TRD Off-Road 6th Gen

...coming from a set of King 2.5s on my 3G Tacoma, I promised myself I wouldn’t go down that road again unless I truly needed that level of suspension. That’s a lot of money just to get a lift when the truck spends its life on pavement.

I agree. I really didn't want to resort to an aftermarket suspension just to make my already expensive truck have a decent ride on certain roads. The Fox 2.5 rear shocks were $347 each and I installed them myself. They have OEM-style isolation at the mounting points and a boot to protect the shaft. The front Bilsteins are still on, contributing a tolerable amount of "jitteryness" on those roads, but it was the rear Bilsteins that really had to be swapped out. Other 6G owners are trying shocks from different trims or from Lexus models with uninspiring results. I'm glad I got rid of the majority of the jitters without breaking the bank.

I just removed the rear Red Bilsteins from my hybrid OR and put on Fox 2.5 shocks. I think Bilsteins are great, but for whatever reason the damping behavior of the factory rear Bilsteins (and perhaps other 6th gen trim rear shocks) is very, very wrong. The car is totally different with the Fox's. To me the 6th Gen OEM Bilsteins aren't worth the cost of the red paint that they are covered with.

let me get em? lol
