Eibach 3" Springs & LC 7 Wraps
I'm planning on running the Eibach 3" lift springs on my 99 4runner with LC 7 wraps in the rear (as the title states). It looks like the bilstein 5100 won't be adjustable on the front with these coils. Can anybody recommend a decent set of front and rear shocks for the coil setup I'm planning on using. I won't be running any aftermarket bumpers anytime soon.

Im not sure about the front, but for the back you could run the stock LC Tokicos. I had them with 7 wraps and liked them.

Just because you shouldn't go higher than the 1st perch on the front with those coils doesn't mean they're not awesome front shocks. I run that exact setup but with 8 wraps and I couldn't be happier. I vote bilsteins all the way around.

3 questions...
Would the bilsteins for the rear be for a LC or 4runner?
Part number?
will the Eibachs provide an extremely harsh ride?

Do you have a picture of your setup?

Thanks for the input. Once I get it all together I'll post some before and after pictures.

I went to this website Toyota Tundra 1999-2006 2wd & 4wd Bilstein 5100 Series Ride Height Adjustable to order the bilstein setup and they informed me that the rear shock for the tundra use a 12mm ID bushing and the 4runner uses a 3/4" ID bushing. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? are these shocks direct bolt ons or do I need to do something goofy? Thanks in advance.

There is a thread on here somewhere showing how to press those bushings out and the 4runner size in.

Here you go How To Press Shock Bushings In and Out

You would need to get 3/4" lower bushings to run those rear shocks.

I just ordered the 5100 for the front and 5125 for the back. Hope it works out. Can't wait to get it and out it all together.
