Does KYB sell longer 4runner shocks?
Can I use kyb shocks that are just longer shocks instead of buying bilstien etc. for a lift?

I asked them and they do not make a "4 Runner" shock for any lifts. They could not provide me any info on what I needed for 1-2" lift. I already had my 5100's and was just researching. I'm not a Bilstein fan because of their crappy warranty and service.

Not that I know of. I wasn't looking for lift when I installed mine but I was not aware of any other sizes for 4Runners.

You could go with landcruiser shocks for the rear. Same specs as an oem that everyone buys. I have some rancho rs5000 landcruiser shocks in the rear of my 99. Works great for me.

People tend to mention Landcruiser shocks a lot for the rear, but I'm always unclear on which model/year of Landcruiser.
Is there only 1 option for LC rear shocks?

I believe 94-97 LC80. I have a 97 4runner and got the 97 rear LC shocks from cruiserparts.com. paired shocks with ome 861 (LC front springs)

The rancho shocks are stock replacement shocks for a landcruiser. So they have the same specs, something like 23" extended and 14" compressed. They are longer than stock 4Runner ones. I just got the ranchos because I got a great deal through work.
@ SpidermanGeek
the shocks are for an FJZ80 landcruiser so the years are 95-97

Is there a KYb shock that can be used on the front end of the runner to have about a 2-3" lift? The reason I'm asking is kyb stock 4Runner shocks are like 30$ and if I could just get a longer "stock" shock then it would be really cheap

You could probably use a Tundra Kyb front shock. It might give you an 1" of lift. Don't quote me on it though because I have no clue just guessingy

Not even close to being something that could work.
The rear Tundra application shocks have a potential to work, but only after modification to the lower eye bushing.

Hey I said don't quote me on it. I have no clue just tossed out an idea. Someone should do the research especially since everyone slaps tundra Bilsteins on like candy why couldn't the stock stuff work. Would I do it? No. OP just seems like he wants to go the cheap route which is totally ok. Just do some research beforehand.
