Tokiko Shocks and 1997 Limited springs, Oakland Ca pickup only
I scored a set of 1999 tall springs with Bilstein 4600 shocks that only had 8k miles on them (thanks HiMiles).
Giving away the Tokiko shicks and stock ‘97 springs I took off. No idea how many miles on them but there was no wallowing, handled well enough I would not have replaced them but I thought I might need clearance for my new 265/75/16 tires I had coming.
Certainly the shocks have life if not the springs, ride is slightly firmer than the Bilstein 4600.
Height before taking off”
LF 20 3/4”
LR 20 1/2”
RF 21”
RR 20 3/4”
Measured mid wheel to bottom arch, these numbers are pretty typical, 1/4”
rear sag could be worse.
Anyway if your suspension is shot and funds are tight these will see you down the road for a bit, the front springs are mounted to the struts so easy swap.
Some marks to the upper rear shock dust shield from holding them with channel locks while undoing the upper stem nut, does not affect performance.
Local pickup only, Oakland Ca.
