What shocks for small rear only lift/level?

[Serge627]

Hey guys. I have had my 4r for a few months and done a bunch of work to it on the front end. Getting around to dealing w rear issues now. The 4r is a 97 4wd w 3.4. It has stock front springs w bilstein struts and PP rear 1" lift springs (sits level). It has some older Rancho shocks on the rear and Im quite certain they are blown. So I am looking for a good option shock for a 1" lift. Specifically a model/brand w part number. Thanks

If they're blown, you could possibly get back to level or 1" more with a stock replacement.

However, maybe try the 4runner 5100s?

Would a stock 97 shock work with 1" rear lift springs though?

Or get the standard Bilstein 4600 Yellow and Blue shocks. Your application is what they are intended for. Fairly cheap and a good reputation. Then you have Billies all around. I'm happy with these shocks in the rear of mine.

Part #s can be had with a quick search of this forum.

They should work, yes.

Kanoe's suggestion is good too!

Just wanted to let you know Camelback toyota has OEM rear shock for $32. One of the Bilsteins in the rear snap the top mount bolt from the body.
