LC coil & Shock question

[ajspagna]

I have a pair of 8 wrap LC coils and have been searching for some shocks to go with them. I have been doing some research and come to the conclusion I want some rancho rs5000s. I just wanted to make sure im getting the right ones. So the rancho rs5000 part# rs5208 which is made to fit the rear of a 90-97 Land Cruiser, will fit the rear of my 98 4runner?

Heres a link to them

Just a guess but prob not valved right, try the front LC shocks...

So these might work
Rancho RS5207 | 1990-97 Toyota Land Cruiser 80-series front

front 80 series shock are a stud to stud mount so they won't fit on the 3rd gen

Dont you just get an adapter like the bilsteins that Toytec sells??

The Toyota LC OEM shocks for the rear of 3rd gen runners is part #48531-69417. they are the right length and have the right valving. I love them

Do these shocks need an adapter?

nope they bolt right up. sorry it took a month+ to reply the email updates have been pretty sporadic. If you ended up getting some rear shocks what are they and how happy are you with them?

I thought someone said those rear LC shocks were too long and would let the springs fall out. Do you know if they work on all OEM LC springs even the 7 wraps????

I'm using them on 8 wraps and I can't see any way even if you were totally twisted up and at full droop that a 7 wrap could fall out. Personally I love the. The are great coming off a rock or anything. The rear end just settles and isn't harsh at all. I will prob revalve my front kings to match at some point

I got some Monroe Gas-Magnum shocks new for $80 shipped from rockauto. They are for the rear of the fj80 series land cruisers. Length and valving are great and work awesome with the LC coil lift on our 3rg gens. Great product for the price

Slight thread-jack: Where does everyone get LC coils? I feel like I've never known where to get them.

Toyota sells them for like $30 each. I called back the first week I got my 4runner. let me check the part numbers and see if they match Rockdawgs

Edit* I got prices for rear shocks with a different part number. I'll call and find out what this part number price is.

Edit** Part number 48531-69417 is $57 each at my local Toyota but with my discount I can get them for $38.16 each

Ok, so PN 48531-69417 is the factory rear shock for Land cruisers. At ShopTRD.com they are $37. (plus $10 shipping....but that applies to the whole order, so get a bunch of stuff why-dontcha)


I was actually asking where the best place to buy the coils themselves was. If that's Toyota, then great.

Oh, my bad. I had shocks on the brain I guess. Coils are expensive new from toyota $119 each is what I was quoted on some 91s. Most people get them from 80 series LC owners that are upgrading from factory suspension or parting out their LCs.

I'm not sure. It's been awhile since I researched this information.
