Suspension numbers

[jlmilligan]

I am still looking at some new shocks. Trying to decide how big (financially) I am going to go. There are a lot of custom application shocks out there and I am wondering which ones would fit. I do release I would need an adapter to go to the post to the eye type. That said, does anyone know the specs on the suspension of an 03 SR5? How much travel? What are the dimensions of the stock shocks compressed and extended? I am just wondering what options i have. I do plan on doing a 3/2 spacer kit someday and would like to get some shocks that would work for that as well. I am thinking about the 5100 adjustables for the front so I would only need the spacers in the rear.
Thanks

I don't know specific numbers. I do know a guy with 5100's that's very happy. You probably need just something for the rear with 5100's handling the lift for the front. People with Cornfed 3/2's say the rear stiffens a good bit. The ones who use the Daystar 2.5/1.5 or CF 2/1 don't seem to complain as much about the rear.

Another option for the rear would be some OME springs and some Bilsteins. The Bilsteins that are typically sold with the OME's are a bit longer and are reported to work well...

Good luck!
