Bilstein shock and tundta coil??
I just bought a 1997 4Runner, it currently has Bilstein shocks in all around. The fronts were replaced not all that long ago, and the rears are getting older. The truck currently has 1" pp springs in it, and I am going to change those out for the OEM lift fairly soon. What I was wondering was, will the front Bilstien shocks desidned for a 4Runner be long enough to handle the tundra springs, or are they going to affect my droop... Or am I best to forget using them and get all the Tokico stuff???
Thanks guys!!
Bob

louisdle, I dont know how I like the PP springs yet... I actually dont get the truck for 5 more days.... I will have a used set for sale if interested 
Thanks dfireballd, I think if I keep the Bilsteins in the front, I will match with the 1995 rear LC Bilsteins too.....
2wheelBLACKOUT, thanks for the info too.... I think I will keep them and see how they are in the front.....

The sptings in the rear were sagged badly, and the shocks were gone too... so my oppinion is not a good one to trust!
The PP springs were not in good enough condition to sell... I ended up throwing them in the scrap medal bin.... sorry guys
