Which Bilsteins? 1st Gen 4Runner and BJ spacers

Hey guys,

I have searched a bunch but could not find a definitive answer.

I have an 88 4Runner and will be running ball joint spacers up front and Old Man Emu springs in the rear. I am trying to order shocks but cannot seem to find whether to run the Bilstein 4600's or the 5100"s.

The 5100's say they are for 3-4 inches of lift and the 4600's say for stock and I will be right in the middle.

Any input would be great as I would like to get this right the first time.

Thanks Jamison

I'm running OME shocks, they are extended to work with low pro bumpstops or BJ spacers.
I ran bilstein HD before, and the rears were too short. Front are too short as well, you would have to space them down. 5100's would be too long on the front.

Thanks Greg, That is exactly what I was afraid of reading the 5100 lengths. I was trying to save about $100 going with the bilsteins but I guess I will just go with the OME.
