Low miles but they're still around 20 years old.

2nd Gen (Sensen 1272 Struts/Shocks)
I put in Sensen 1272 Struts/Shocks with Moog CC255 Rear Coil Springs and Daystar 1.25” Spacers. The car rides well and I am very satisfied! No butt sag!

I’ve seen multiple reviews which remain unchanged after a few years, likely, meaning that it remains functional even after a few years.

I don’t do hardcore off-roading so this may be a different case for others but for daily driving and rare dirt travel for camping, I think these will serve you well.

I know that the best recommendation is “Bilstein! KYB! TOKICO! OEM!” But for the price ($64.49), I am VERY satisfied. Just my 2 Cents!

Sensen. Cheapest stuff you can get from China. You will notice the cheapness when you compare it to the parts you pull off. I was able to get a week of use from them before they leaked all over my driveway. Not on a 4Runner, but I wouldn't be comfortable using them on a heavier vehicle.

How did you know they were bad? Because a salesman said so? or a "mechanic" showed you leaking oil? (oldest trick in the book).

I would have demanded Toyota replace them as they must have been defective.

My 2002, bought new, by me, still has the original shocks/struts. 250k miles. And I drive it like I stole it.

She barely bounces when jumping up and down on her. I'm debating whether to just do shock bushings as they are shot.

Bilstein shocks are amazing. Spend the extra money and you won’t be disappointed

I know this is an old thread but I used this thread and a few other old threads here when looking to replace my shocks and struts last week so I wanted to add my experience for others doing the same in the future.
I ended up installing KYB gas-a-just shocks/struts on my 97 and I am beyond happy with how it rides. My 4runner is stock with slightly bigger bfg all terrains.
It's smooth but no body roll in the corners. Highly recommend. All the parts were $254.

I second that motion for the KYB sensa-trac. They seem to ride good on most any Toyota.

I would add bilstein hd4600 here as well, for stock height. Not sure why folks tend to over look them. They have the same valving as the 5100 and ride great on road and forest service roads. I've even had them paired with ome 906 and they did well.

Second vote for 4600's as a 'near OEM' style replacement. Put them on my 4Runner when it was still my dad's (not interested in a lift, it was 2WD at the time, etc.). No complaints. Lasted ~80k miles before the rears started leaking, if I remember right - so not great for longevity.
