SS 1.2 Land Cruiser shock to 5160

[maclean216]

Installed Bilstein 5160s and pulled out my Sonoran Steel 1.2 Land Cruiser shocks. I drilled out the shock mount for the install of OEM LC shocks, and obviously the top washer on the lower bushing is too small on the 5160s. Does Bilstein or Toyota sell a separate busing kit? Anyone else run into this?

Thanks for any help

What springs are you using? I thought the 4runner 5160 are only meant for about 2" lift (they reccomend ome906). Which is weird because I got over 2.5" from the matching 6112 in the front not even on the top setting, even after a year of use.

Right now I'm using the Land Cruiser coils that come in the Sonoran Steel 1.2 kit.

May I ask why your swapping to the Billies in the rear? I bought the 1.2 kit from Steve awhile back but haven’t got it put on yet. Hoping to have some extra time to work on it soon. I seem to remember Steve saying that the LC shocks work better for the 1.2 lift.
