Will rear King LC shocks fit on a 99 4runner?

[Rambler808]

I'm looking into getting a pair of rear king shocks but they aren't long enough, so i'm trying to figure out how i could custom order some. I did a flex test and decided that 15" collapsed and 25" extended shocks would be a good size, but king shocks are 14" collapsed and 22" extended. I noticed that the same shock for a LC are the correct lengths and i can have them re-valved, but i'm not sure if the shock bodies are different sizes or if it will fit without hitting anything. Does anyone have any insight on the size differences? I called king and they said they can only give me length measurements.

I don't see it being any problem. I'm running 80 series shocks in the rear of mine and they work well.

Hi Chris,

What King shocks did you go with?
OEM King replacements, or LC with 3'' Superflex spring?
Thanks!

king will make you a custom pair of bolt in shocks. I just had it done. I gave them the toytec boss shock dimensions and had my shocks made.

Call and talk to Brian Groves

Is there a reason why you didn't go with the King direct OEM replacement?

Probably because they don't came a 3" bolt on shocks. If you go custom route. It will be extra $$$

Perfect measurements: 24.117" ext/ 15.017 col.

The bolt in direct replacement shocks are not long enough when used in conjunction with the toytec superflex coils. They are for a 2” or so lift the toytec lift is 3-4” depending on weight
