1000% better than the worn out stock ones. They are longer too which will help when you replace the rear coils. They are definately more stiff than the factory ones so when you do replace them, mount the top first and then cut the wire that comes on them. As they are moving, guide the bottom onto the mount. One of them I did the wire came loose before I was ready and it took a lot of force to push it back up and onto the mount.
BTW put a little oil/lube on the bottom mount to make it easier to slide the bushing on.
 
Yeah I know that, thanks though. I'm lifted ~3.25" in the back so they should work with my set up. They only issue is if I flex too much and the spring falls out, but I have my sway bar attached.
 
Has anyone installed these on their t4r? If so how was your experience with these shocks. What would you rate them? Any other rear shocks recommended to buy.
I was looking into buying something i could eventually put some ome coils on. Truly appreciate the help.

I have those paired with OME 906 springs, and they are pretty stiff. I like them well enough, but I can't really say whether the majority of the stiffness is from the shocks or from the springs. I cedrtainly don't see any problem with them whatsoever. They damped fine.
 
I'm running 9 wrap LC coils with Ranch 5000 shocks for a FJ80 and I'm not too happy. My back end is very soft and it feels like it sways back and forth alot.
