[AmbyBomb]

Does anybody know if there is a plan or timeline for these to be released?

I'd be curious! Also wonder if they will be compatible with the sport.
Do you happen to know what makes the sport suspension incompatible with the 5100 ?

That's news to me. Bilstein has the 5100s as an option on their website.

They do, but apparently they don't work with the stock sport suspension. I haven't looked into the difference in the sports' suspension, but my vin came back as a sport for whatever reason and they said:

"Thank you for providing me with that information. Below you will find a breakdown of the VIN provided, the vehicle is a 2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4WD L4 2.4L ... The B8 5100 is NOT applicable for your vehicle. The TRD Sport uses different springs in the front and cannot be paired with our B8 5100. The only front shock we offer for this vehicle is the B6 4600. We would recommend removing the product and ordering the correct shock for your vehicle. "

I have seen a couple folks with sports put them on anyways, so not sure why they say that. I'd guess the 6112 will be compatible since it's a full coilover assembly ?

I think you're right about the 6112, and I'd assume the same would be true of the 8112.

Oh yea, you said the 8112. I just looked those up. They look bad ass ! Had never looked at them before.

Yea, now that I reread the quote from Bilstein, all those coilover assemblies should be fine.

the sport springs are a bit higher rate to make the street driving feel tighter. but to say they can't be ran on 5100s is interesting. i would assume they will work but will continue to ride a little firm.

They never followed back up with their reasoning, but I have seen a few people do it anyways, so idk! Personally I'd just choose something else if the company who designed the product told me they aren't compatible, but that's just me. Would be interested to hear if anyone finds out.
