At 136k miles, I'm feeling like it's time to consider a new set of shocks for my 03 4runner. I've got factory XREAS and also the rear air suspension. Because of the RAS I have to have stock length shocks in the rear. I wanted Bilstein 5100's, but they're going to be too long. So far, I've found three options, and I just need some input as to which is the best for a daily driver (very little off road). Whichever route I take, I'll be keeping my FJ springs on the front.
Option 1: Stock FJ Cruiser shocks (Tokico's)
Option 2: Stock FJC shocks (Bilstein's)
Option 3: KYB GR2's
I've read a lot about each setup, and I'm sure the Bilstein FJ shocks are better than the Tokico's, but I wanted to know where the KYB's fell in comparison. I'd shoot for finding a set of FJ shocks with 10,000 miles or less, and this will most definitely be the cheapest option for me, but price will not be the determining factor. Thanks for any input!
