hi guys and girls.havent gotten into the forum for a long while.

The time have come for my shocks to be replaced and i dont know what to choose from.

i have a 2006 sport edition v8 with 94000 miles on it.
i need to do a whole bunch on it because i havent done so for about 40000 miles.

the main concern for me right now is suspension.what to choose from for descent prices.

i would also consider lifting it couple of inches if there would be not a big difference in price.


please help me choose and if possible,provide links to the product.

thank you all very much in advance.!!!

and it doesn't get any cheaper than ordering a set of Bilsteins from Down South Motorsports. $330 out the door for all 4, don't have to lift if you don't want too, and they ride great. Will do everything you need unless you get into something really hard core. Check them out. Toyota 4-Runner Front Bilstein 5100 Ride Height Adjustable Shocks 03-2009 w/ Optional Rear Shocks

Spacers are always an option and adjusting the shocks is simple. There's a clip on them you move up or down. Only downfall is you have to take them out of truck to adjust. Just set them on highest like me and calling good! :cool:

Um,. if you're at 94k on your 4.7L and you've done NOTHING to the vehicle in over 40k miles, you REALLY ought to consider swapping out your timing belt. It's time, bud. Do not let it go, cause if that thing breaks, ALL of your valves will be damaged and then you are talking serious repairs/money.
