Will these shocks fit? *i swear I searched first*

I used the google search of the site and found nothing, maybe that should have given me the answer I was looking for. However I also think I may be the first to try this sooo

A friend of mine just upgraded to OME shocks on his 2013 land crusier. I'm wondering if his stock shocks could be used on my 1999 4wd. Especially the rears. I understand the valveing won't be correct blah blah but anything would be better than my stock limp pogo sticks

48510-60170 front
48530-60270 rear

Thanks in advance

Well doesn't look too good for the rears at least. Just measured the LC shock body at ~24" and the on jack stand length of my t4r shocks are ~18"
 
As far as as I'm aware, only the 80 series Landcruiser shocks will work on our 4Runners. If you are looking for new shocks, look at Monroe, they offer great prices. I think you can order them at Oriely's.

And they shouldn't be used unless there's 3-4" of lift.

So you can run these, if they fit in the mounting locations that is. You'll need to check both ends. May need to open up the top mounting hole a little.

Just curious if you know the collapsed length on these? I don't know if I would recommend running these on a stock height truck due to that because you will probably be bottoming out the shock if you hit a big bump. But on a lifted truck the extended length will work fine. They are shorter than the 4th gen 4runner extended travel SAW shocks run by a few members on here (see http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/133632-natemobs-dd-build-21.html#post1654373 and http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/120034-crazydubmans-97-limited-runner-build-18.html#post1281349). However you will need the works: extended brake lines, bumpstops, sway bar brackets, etc.
