I replaced my old worn out KYBs with some Bilstein 4600s and it's a night and day difference. The Bilsteins give it a way comfier ride and they're a little firm but they aren't harsh, I'd definitely recommend Bilstein.
Here's what it took to bring this old diesel back: ...New Bilstein shocks...But every time I drive it, I feel good.
I got a set of Bilstein 5100's with OME 886 coils after reading numerous posts on tacomaworld forums saying that set up produced a 2.5" lift for 3rd gens, and the other OME coils all sagged too much. I just picked it up after getting that installed and I'm pretty sure I got 4" of lift.
What i did to eliminate my bounce was adding air bags. change out the shackle bushing to either OEM or polyurethane, you choice i went with polyurethane. Your leafsprings are probably gone, especially if they are OEM. You can change them. But try out the air bags /shackle bushing and also shocks (bilstein) if you haven't yet. For my motorhome, when im loaded, i run around 80psi non loaded 50psi no bounce even when driving on dirt roads to campground.
Stay away from 5100’s… they’re a rough and nasty ride
I would get the Bilstein 5100s, Bilstein 5100s are a night and day difference from the Westcott preload collar lift (it's essentially a spacer lift)
I did 5100’s on my ‘19, 4/5 setting front lift, zero back. Nice and level-ish now that I’ve got a steel bumper. Feels better than stock by a wide margin
I've had these 4600s for a little under a year and they've been a huge improvement over stock, but the rear is sagging with my spare tire + carrier on the hitch.
I use bilstein shocks too.
I converted a 760GLE to 5.0 Mustang power and everything I could get from IPD. The Bilsteins / urethane bushings and sway bars made that thing a weapon on the curves.
