I've searched and come up dry.
How's the ride with these springs on OEM shocks.
I've ordered bilsteins but back order might exceed my Mojave trip o__O

If by OEM you mean the original 10-11 year old shocks it's gonna be not great at best, not that the ride with new shocks is Cadillac like. It looks like shock warehouse might have em in stock.

Put in the order over a week ago.
Was actually able to speak to an irritable rep after bombarding their phone systems with multiple back to back calls.
He advised me that they're on back order.
I called 4wheelparts to maybe source a pair or comparable set and they were out of stock and back ordered too, as well as unable to recommend a close second.

I've ordered once from shockwarehouse and was not pleased with their customer service. Or lack there of. It was impossible for me to speak with someone even after leaving several voicemails and e-mails asking them to return my calls. 4 years later, still haven't got that call.

I ordered a set of Bilsteins from CarID.com on January 15. They were back ordered but my estimated shipment date from Bilstien was today. Waiting to see if they send or get postponed again. The only reason I have not got my money back is I got both for 110 shipped.

JHogg, any update on that order??
I got the moogs mounted, ride isn't much different from how my Tacoma was on Bilstein 4600's.
Still waiting on the 4600's to come in so I can swap.

I know you already bought them, but I was searching and also came up empty. Rockauto lists the 8110=375lbs, which would put them between 85 and 86 springs in theory. However MOOG offers several other TB part numbers, and no rates for any of them. Jerks.. I'm going to see if I can get in contact with someone there.

Bilstein has some really good customer service, I wonder if you could call them and see if they can recommend someone that has them in stock, or at least badger Bilstein about meeting their demand.

Awesome! I came up totally empty when I called Thursday, kind of frustrating to speak to someone on the "tech" line who acts like I'm insane for asking lol.
