Ok, so my OME 3" lift from Toytec has come in, and now it is time to install!!! I have a worry though, and that lies in the old shocks which I was planning on keeping. They are less than a year old as i foolishly let the dealer replace them. I have a '99, and the replacement shock they installed has a part number 48531-35881. is this a '99 specific shock, and if so was it fitted to a specific spring length? How will these still work with my OME lift spring?? Wouldn't it either overextend the shock, or pull down on the springs: canceling out my lift??? I guess i don't know much about shocks, can someone help me out please?

I just called another Toyota dealer in town, gave them the last 8 of my VIN, and the part number they gave me for replacement shocks was 48531-80527, what gives???
 
i see now, the 80527 number is the new updated number, so same part. Ok, so now my only question for you all is fitting the stock shock to the longer coils
 
You are fine. I have the same lift on stock shocks and haven't had any problems at all. This lift really doesn't seem to flex out any more, I'm guessing due to sway bar and bump stops, so over-extending shouldn't be an issue. Post pictures when its installed!
