Bilstein 5150 shocks??
I have an 86 4runner that I'm thinking of doing some suspension upgrades to over the winter. What I'm thinking of is: BJ spacers in the front, & deaver add-a-pack in the rear for what I'm hoping will be about 2" of lift all around. I'm also wanting to put in some new shocks, but can't seem to find the specs & shock sizing to put in a set of 5150's.
Has anyone run these in an 86?
Cheers & thanks in advance,
Jeff

The website won't actually give you that info. (as far as I could see.... but then again, I'm only human) What I'm looking for is the eye to eye collapsed and extended lengths of the shock that fits. The 5150's are not vehicle specific. Also, how do you convert from stem mount to eye mount in an application like this?

I honestly wouldn't bother putting 5150's on the front of the IFS. Rears, sure....but you'll never take full advantage of 5150's on otherwise stock IFS front.
