Some time has passed. "I am a little older. I'm a little wiser."
I've got fresh -12mm offset wheels, wrapped up in some KO2 285/70/17's.
I really need to get new shocks/struts - currently running 5100's.
I've got OME 886 front springs, 896 rear.
Currently torn now on what strut/shock to get. It is absolutely nuts how much division there is over models, brands, and form-factor. Seems one person swears by what other people swear against - as a rule of thumb.
You have any recommendations? I'm about to jump off a cliff after weeks of searching 10 year old forums just to keep finding wider and wider opinions, brands, models, etc.
Thought anything OME made sense - but - everyone seems to hate em.
Thought Bilstein 6112 were good, until others told me otherwise.
Anyways, thanks for your wheel/tire input. Off to the netherrealm of trying to find a satisfactory suspension combination for added weight 4th gen 4runners, that will stand up over long trips of very shit 'roads'/trails. Featuring such hits as the "Can Am Highway", "Alaska backcountry" and - my personal favorite - dirt country roads that go hundreds of miles without maintenance OR people around. Pssssh, why even waste the time searching for the goldie locks? At this point, being left for dead in the middle of nowhere is starting to seem less painful than selecting a kick ass shock/strut!
