Rear Shocks Upgrade

[Kxlexus]

Are our rear shocks the same as the Gen4 trucks? I am removing my top hat spacer in front and going to add the Bilstein 5100’s on position 5. I would like to upgrade the rear shocks to some with a remote reservoir but none are offered for the gen5 yet.

To answer my own post, I checked a few places and the rear shocks of the Gen4 and Gen5 trucks have different part numbers. However, I don’t know what is different about the shocks. Is it the length, the way they mount or the valving?

This is just a guess so take it with a grain of salt but I think it would be the valving , I only say that because they redid the air suspension because the new trucks are lighter than the 4th gens . I know the air suspensions aren’t the same but if they redid that I would think they used different shocks for the weight reduction .
