Bilstein HD Order HELP!!!

Got everything in and installed. Thanks again for everyones help. I had a whole lot of help from people who didnt even know they were helping i'm sure. So, Thanks. I love this forum. First post Updated.
 
How'd it do?

UPDATE:
So, For any 2wders out there. There are no differences between shocks designated for 4wd vs 2wd--atleast as far as mounting goes.

So I bought 99 tall springs and Billsteins for all 4 corners and have now installed them. The difference was night and day. So...PICS!

Before






New


New Back vs worn to **** back


Old monroe sensatracs with god only knows how many miles on them next to the new billies(the old shocks could easily be compressed by hand...and didnt rebound whatsoever!)


New Stance

I was so excited to get the new stuff on that I forgot to take old meaurements. As of now I have a little negative rake which I was somewhat expecting from BFAD's build thread. I'm hoping it settles to level after a while or I'll be adding some spacers to the rear.

The hub to fender is about 21.5" in the rear and about 23" in the front.
So, that was my experience. And i'll go ahead and beat that dead horse and say that the rear upper shock mounts has to be the worst design aspect of our 4runners, or atleast top 5.(PRE 99 CUPHOLDERS!!!!! GRRRR!!!)

Parting thoughts.
I really love the new ride and the height, but to be honest I really liked how well my tires filled out my wheel wells before all this. BUT, totally worth it. Also, I highly recommend AJUSA.com for all your shock needs. They had the best prices and were very pleasant to deal with. (This is for you Chas Moore)
I made some mistakes on my order and they were very easy to contact and resolved my problem for me in a timely manner. Great folks, plus they surf this forum.


Original post: ok, so i just f**ked myself i think. I just ordered 4 bilstein HDs to match up with 99 talls. The thing is I ordered 4 of these:

Monotube Shock Absorber
Part #: BIL 24-187244
For: 1999 TOYOTA 4RUNNER (SR5; 4WD); B6 Heavy Duty (HD); Front

they say they match up to the front, i cant find anything about the rear. will these fit on the rear too? or did i just order the wrong parts?

any help would be greatly appreciated so i can try to fix this before they ship them out, thanks.

So did it ever even out or did you have to go get spacers for the rear?
Think maybe the front was higher because you got the struts for a 4wd instead of a 2wd?
