OME 861 Shock Recommendations?

[963rdgen]

I think I have finally decided to go with these coils, or superflex coils rear.

Anyone have any shock recommendations? I'd like something that will give me full flex and a decent ride.

Thanks,
James.

I have the extended billies for a 4th gen/fj from Toytec. If you want to save a little cash, get the factoy Toyota land cruiser shocks. Make sure they're the REAR land cruiser shocks, not the front like the springs.

The Toyota ones are like $90 for the pair. Also, a few people have ran the land cruiser trek masters and like them a lot.

Do you know the exact product number you used 05?

I also noticed Toytec is carrying an extended rear bill stein to accommodate 4" superflex coils. Would those work as well?

I'm not sure. They should still have the extended ones for the fj that I bought. Let me see if I can find the part number. I just picked a year, 91-97, for a land cruiser and ordered the shock.

Thanks man,

Your pictures and feedback when I was searching actually sold me on these.

I've been happy with them and I've had them on two different rigs now. Probably need to change my avatar pic since I sold that one a year ago haha. More people are starting to run them now. Dylan from Toytec just had installed them about the same time I did and now brian2sun and gerdo and a few others have them and everyone likes them. Some are running the 851's but that's just too tall for me.

Yeah looks like not too much take with the Toytec ultimate up front, I also have a steel rear bumper which I will eventually add a tire carrier to.

Do you have a build thread on here?
