Shocks

I was wondering which shocks everyone was running on there 2 inch lifted 4runners. I was debating between the Doetsch, Bilstein, or the Old Man Emu? Or if there were any other ones that someone was running. Anything would be great, thanks.

There are hundreds of threads on this very subject. I lifted my truck about a year ago and did an OME lift with bj spacers in the front. I'm running OME shocks and OME coils. I love 'em.

I would recommend matching your suspension - i.e. OME coils w/ OME shocks.

Do a quick search and you'll get a good 3 days worth of reading material on this subject.

x2 THis isn't marketing hype, this is because the springs are very stiff (but flex jsut fine) and the shocks are quite soft. So, if you buy just the springs and use regular shocks, the ride is pretty harsh. Soft springs (ie: stock) and soft shocks is going to allow lots of body roll which isn't a good think either.
