Hi, I've searched for about a day on this forum and couldnt find answer to my problem so decided to just register and ask...(Iusually just lurk..sorry!)
Here goes it; I have a 95 Runner, 4WD 3.slow, 4-5" Superlift.
I ordered some Bilstein 5100 series SS gas shocks from ORW about a week ago. Got them home yesterday and installed the fronts (Part Number BS-24-185745).
Now, I removed one rear and low and behold the ones they ordered for me do not fit (Part Number BS-24-100144)! I did an application chart search on the rear PN and of course a 95 4Runner was nowhere listed. I'm wondering where this genius parts guy at ORW got the info that these would fit.
Now I know there are some alternative shocks that I can put on there, such as ProComps,SkyJackers, Superlift's Superrides etc but these are all white bodied. Im pretty pissed that there are no actual Bilstein 5100 series SS shock that is made for the rear of a 95 4Runner. Now I have two SS shocks up front and am forced to put a white body shock in the rear?! at the parts guy!
Do you guys know of any alternatives that I could still find in a stainless steel body? maybe a bilstein 5100 that is not made for the 95 4Runner but another make or model?
Any help would be appreciated! I'd love to have 4 matching shocks
Thanks!!
