Shocks

[AMY1975]

Hello! I have an Eagle FWC on a 2014 Tacoma and I'm about to order some Bilstein shocks. I'm trying to decide if I need to get the 5100's with the gas reservoir for the rear...the guy told me that with the weight of the camper the gas will get compressed sooner and the reservoir will keep it fully charged? They are $200 more and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on this? We will be driving off road in the desert A LOT this spring! Oh yeah, the rig already has a 7 leaf spring pack by Helwig in the rear. Thanks!

The primary reason for the reservoir is cooling of the damper's hydraulic fluid. If you're going to drive 4-40 wash-boards at the 40 mph option (instead of the 4 mph option) then the reservoirs are a good idea. If you're more the 4 mph option kind of driver then they're a waste of money for you.
