Shock Absorber Options

[Park]

Hey guys so I am looking for new rear shocks for my 3rd gen because mine are shot. I went on to the popular sites like Toytec and the name brand shocks they offer are just not in my budget right now. Since I have a 3" lift I need extended shocks and I found some affordable shocks by AC Delco for a Toyota Landcruiser. So my question is, the Landcruiser's rear shocks appear similar to the 4runner's. Does anyone know if its a direct fit? Thanks

Bilstein 5100s would be my choice

Yea ^^^ go to wheelers www and look at the extended length options 5125s I think

There's also Tokico Blacks.

I have Monroe 80 series Land Cruiser shocks on mine with around 3" of lift (OME 891s). They control the rebound just like they're supposed to.

These are a great affordable option that are nice and long for most common rear lift applications:

I'm not sure if the Tokico's would work on a 3" in lift though, I think they would not have enough travel.

Do you think they would "top-out" (rather than bottom-out)? I haven't installed them yet, but I think several other guys have. I have 8 wrap LC springs to go with them so I should have more than 3" lift in the rear.

Aren't the Tokico's for 8 wraps? That should be around 4.5" on our trucks.

Ahh, just realized that we aren't talking about stock Tokico's. Carry on!

Yeah, from my research, the lc tokico blacks are like $100 for a pair and should be perfect for your height.

I went ahead and the blue Monroe shocks. They were a great price and the ride is firm and stable. Lets see how they hold out!:drummer:

Cool. Give us all a review in a month/year... We are gonna want to know the full setup, front shocks/springs, rear springs, etc.
