Rear Shock Suggestions
My 87 4runner currently is running a 3" Trailgear lift, with bilstein 5150 shocks. These things are great, but too stiff for the driving I do. Anyone have any suggestions for a softer shock? I had a friend mention Deutsche Tech Schocks, but I cant find them anywhere? Any suggestions will be a huge help. Thanks

re-valve the 5150s...
What vavlign is int here now? Whats the total vehicle weight versus a back half weight? what model are you running? http://www.pirate4x4.com/articles/pr...s/bilstein5150 If you are at 255/70 switch to 170/60. Run a 7100 and adjust the nitrogen pressure? Oh - are ya shure its the SHOCKS and not the SPRING RATES? |
