I have a 2019 DCLB Off road with 112k miles on the original suspension. I'm starting to feel some bump steer so I think it's probably time to replace the suspension components. I'm not looking for a big lift or anything and I don't get to go off-road. I'm thinking about some 5100s but not really sure if I should just stick with stock or if there's appreciable improvements day to day from upgrading.
 
If you are willing to spend a little more, I would get a Billstein 6112 complete assembly in the front and get a fresh set of springs and a significant upgrade. I would recommend replacing the rear shocks at the same time I personally would pick 5160s for the back. These would give you a significant improvement in your shock setup and work really well for a daily driver type of setup.

The 5100s you mentioned are also a great choice at a smaller price point.

Nothing wrong with refreshing your suspension with new Toyota OEM parts either. I personally like to upgrade a bit, when possible, but that is just me.

I hope that helps you. There are a lot of great options for our Tacoma's.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.
 
I have a 2019 tacoma trd and the driver side front tire is wearing really bad. Its cupping and I don't know whatbwould cause that. I've taken to a few mechanics and they can't figure out why it would be doing that. It has a 2 inch leveleling kit and the rims have a 2 to 3 inch offset. Any recommendations on how to fix it
 
I would first ensure that your tire is properly balanced. Then, if it checks out good, I would try rotating the tires and see if the problem follows the tire or the location. I hope that helps.
