Talking about a simplistic, and space saving setup. I'm emailing a few folks that have them hoping that they will work for my rear suspension when I start my 4-link rear. The only problem is the weight capacity is supposably only 5K lbs. What do our rigs weigh anyway?

You are starting to ask questions and wonder about things that are way beyond bolt on. If you are serious, you need to know things like what you rear end is and about how much the rig weighs.
The next step is ponying up for a star and heading to the land of fabrication. If you are serious, that is the only way to fly.

You would have to relocated your gas tank and cut out the whole factory suspension setup. And there is more to it than copying this guys plans. Theres all kinds of formulas involved to get it right.

Yeah, I wasn't asking really about the suspension design, but rather just pointing out the coolness factor of these shocks. I know there's a lot involved in doing a custom 4-link, and to be honest, I've got a lot more reading to do before I attack it. But, nevertheless, I thought these shocks were pretty cool.

Personally, I think the tank location on 4runners really sucks anyway and if you are serious then you'll probably move the tank anyway....then there's room for a 4-link. I will be moving mine soon. It hold about 2-3 gal less because of all the dents. I'm suprised it doesn't leak yet.

I am not even sure if they would fit.
That is a TON of travel and airshocks can be tough on upkeep.
It is an expensive setup but would be very cool indeed.
