1995 4Runner SR5 2wd automatic 6 cylinder.
Need help choosing shocks for 95 4runner. I would like to have a stiffer ride, so that it rides more like my 89 Toy 4wd.
As an extra points bonus question,,, What are the largest tires I can put on the 4runner WITHOUT lifting it?

 

Additionally, I was ;ooking over the parts guy's shoulder at O'Reilly's when he was showing me shocks... Some seemed to have a longer compressed length and extended length. I asked if this would lift the 4Runner, and he replied, "yes." I was dubious, believing that the SPRINGS set the ride height... what say y'all?

 

 

Did you put Gabriel air shocks on your 4runner? What PSI did you inflate them to?

 

 

Shocks shouldn't lift a truck unless they're unreasonably stiff or your old ones are completely blown out. Shocks are there to absorb impact, not to carry load, springs do that.
