LC8 wrap Shock ??

[Dinggoo]

Ive been doing lots of research but haven't quite found the answer im looking for.

I am looking to lift my 99 4runner with the toytec 620lb springs and tundra 5100's in the front and for I rear I have a pair of LC 8 wraps. now I was planning on getting the tundra 5100's all the way around, but then reading I see some people use the long travel ones that toytec has.

My question is should I stick with the tundra rear 5100's or get the long travel 5100's?

Someone in there build has posted a picture of the long travels ones they got from toytec for the 96-02 had the bilstein part number for the the later gen 4runners and FJ cruisers. Can I just order those ones instead of getting the "long travel" ones from toytec?

Thanks

ive got parts store gas shocks from a 94 land cruiser.
ive had them for a couple years and like them still. $30 a piece sounds pretty good for me and how long they have lasted.

I've got Tokico blacks off of a Landcruiser, Ride good and only cost me 70 something for the pair if I recall.

Definitely nothing wrong with your suggestions above, but here's my story about rear shocks for my 3rd gen:

I bought a set of rear shocks for a mid-90's Land Cruiser (I think I told him it was a 96 model...been a while), and they worked perfect. They were Gabriel brand. Did everything I could expect of them, and they had plenty of travel to allow my 4Runner rear axle to flex like crazy. I think I had maybe $75 in the pair...and the performance was great for me.

So actually I found the answer to my originals questions they are the same it looks like. but now I am thinking of just running the LC shocks. it would be about half the price hmmm options

I vote Tokico blacks. OEMs ride great.

the tokicos work great on the trail, but if you dont have a rear bumper with a swing out the ride is a bit too firm, you really need to have some extra weight back there.
