Question BILSTIEN 5100 series shocks

i have a 95 4runner 4x4 auto and im doing a 3inch suspension lift 1.5inch bj spacers and jack up the t-bars, and 1.5" coil spacers on top of the 1.5inch lifted downey hd coils. will the Bilstien 5100 series shocks work wiht the 3 inch lift? their website says they are for the 3-4inch lift so.. i would imagine they would work but im unsure. also would "front" shocks be aplicable to the rear? the website says "under development" for the part number for the rear 5100 shock. any advise will be apreciated.

Front shocks will not work for the rear as far as I know.

No, the rear shocks are significatly longer than the fronts.

Also the shocks will only work if they are for a 3-4 inch lift. Stock shocks will not work on a lifted rig.

Second Gen 4Runner rear shocks have a stud too. They are just longer than the fronts.

I hope you have manual hubs.
the balljoint spacers are made to lift the truck WITHOUT cranking the t-bars, your cv-angles will be TERRIBLE with bj spacers and a tosion bar lift....4crawler makes a 1 inch diff drop, which will help... but you're alignment will be ÅÅÅÅty....

look into edelbrock IS series. I had them on the front when I had IFS. I liked them a lot.
