890s and 5125s

[4RunnerKyle]

Finally got my Ultimate lift installed.... 2 full days of fighting rust and broken bolts, along with limited tools really whooped my butt but it's in and it's done and it's looking awesome, however... There seems to be an issue..

I have the rear 5125s with the adapters from Toytec and it seems like there's only maybe 4-6 inches or so of the piston body available for travel and this was confirmed by the first speed bump I encountered... Felt the shocks bottom out harshly.....

The box says its the bilstein 5125... Part number 33-185590 then F4-BE5-6252-H5

Is this the right ones????

I have a long road trip from CA back to MN soon and with the holidays and all, isn't the most optimal time for issues

I don't know the part number but sounds right. And unless you removed your bump stops you shouldn't be bottoming out on the shock, and you should be fine with 5" of up travel for a speed bump... I find it hard to believe you even bottomed out, even with no shocks a speed bump shouldn't put that much force out unless you are moving out, which in that case you know the shocks were pressurized when you installed them? So they hadn't lost the nitrogen charge?

Yeah, somethings definitely off. I have the same setup and have never bottomed out. Taking it on some pretty decent washboard roads too.
