These are the exact part numbers I ordered, and from what I gather should be correct

AJUSA.com has pretty good prices...

 

[Stifler]

wheelersoffroad.com has all 4 for $365

I will be doing the 1.75" setting up front, a cornfed 1" rear spacer and some 275 BFG ATs:high5:

According to the Bilstein USA website for a 2012 TE the fronts are
24-196499
Back 33-187174

I just put these on my 2011 - the front anyway and the 24-196499 where the ones I ordered. I used the 5160's on the back.

I am not sure what those other part numbers are for, did you already order and install these? If not, just double check with whoever you are ordering for to be sure the ones you are going to purchase will fit

I compared the numbers @velonidy posted to the bilstein catalog and also this post that [MENTION=66316]1engineer[/MENTION] made here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-g...-lift-road-performance-only-2.html#post982319

It seems to all be consistent for our 2010+ 4runners.

You're not reading correctly!

There are two columns, left one for 10+ and the right for 4th Gen. It's confusing, I had to look twice.

thanks crew
got these on ebay: 24-196499, for fronts.

now the hard part, installing them

With airbags installed and at lowest setting is the rear higher than stock?

Bought billstein 5100

Wondering if the .85 is still the proper setting to level or because of airbags have to go higher?

Thanks in advance

2012 te no kdss

 

[BocaIvan]

only 1 way to truly know for sure and that would be to take measurements before, install the airbags first, take measurements again, then install the fronts appropriately keeping in my mind how level you want it to be.

I had firestone bags on my Tundra and they did NOT increase right height until they were activated

 

[kitesurf]

Airbags installed so I don't have a before measurement

Just want to make sure .85" is the proper setting up front
