***Bilstein Shocks and Struts for 4Runner***pictures inside***

I found this post on my local CL. Are these the part numbers i'll want if my intent is to eventially do a full OME or TRD/OME set up??? Right now im using a daystar 2.5" spacer lift front and rear. If these are it, what would used shocks actually worth ($250 seems high to me...)?

Thanks!

im no expert, but its hard to tell from the picture. maybe go take a look and mess with them. see if they are hard to compress. maybe they are weak and he's trying to find a sucker. see if you can compress them and if so they should decompress nice and slow. on the struts take a look at where the stainless steel shaft goes inside the compression tube. make sure the seal hasn't been compromised. what i mean is, make sure the shaft is nice and clean. free of scratches and marks. if that shaft has any marks what so ever on it, every time if goes inside the compression tube its going to let a tiny bit of gas out. thus loosing compression. then you wasted money. which, to any 4runner owner, is a major dissapointment. do some research and see what they retail for a go from there. it seems like a good visual buy seenings as my oem struts where around the same cost. anyway, just saying. im no expert but it seems decent to me. like i said, if its not a major gas waster, go check em out

Fronts are the Taco 5100's which is what most people run so those will work fine. The rears are the FJ 5100's which are quite a bit longer. If you plan to run OME's in the back, you will want to hard mount the cone bumpstop and extend your axle bumpstop.

These are long enough that they will cause the coils to fall out under full flex and bottom out before the bump stop does like he said in the ad. A bunch of people run the FJ rear shocks in the 3rd gen but most are doing 4-5 inches of lift.
