a lot of guys use ranchos. are you planning to find 'em locally or do mail-order? the superlift shocks i got with my lift feel kinda soft, compared to my prior (stock) setup. just an fyi.

yep, good suggestion. i'd have liked to go with 5150s, for instance, but the price knocked me around pretty hard, so i ended up with "stock".

if you want a stock like ride thats good on the street and minor offroad the monroe sensatracs or reflexes fit the bill, the sensatracs are more carlike than the reflexes though.... and they are readily avaialbe jsut about anywhere and cheap to

Hey, I work at an auto parts store and can get you a deal on monroes, if you want them. We probably have those in stock. I can check tonight when I work again. Or I should be able to get Bilsteins for around 50-60 a piece. I have the Bilsteins and they are dope, but no complaints from monroe reflexes or sensa-trac either.

TONS of folks here love their OME setups (at least on 4Runners) and as a proud owner of a new set of OME shocks and springs, I can heartily recommend them.

Ok, I can get the Monroe Sensa-Tracs for $33 each out the door with tax and everything. I can get them for 2nd gen 4runners and 4x4 89-95 pick-ups. Rear ones for 3rd gen 4runners too. The normal price is $39 each plus tax. I thought I can get them for less, but there is not a whole lot of mark-up on these shocks. Part numbers for 2nd Gen 4runner front 37030 and rear 37033. 4wd 89-95 p/u front 37030 and rear 37032. 3rd Gen 4runner rear 37157. Let me know. I can also get Hawk Performance Front Brake Pads too. For 3rd Gen 4runners they are 40 OTD instead of 60.
