I did the ZUK mod in the rear of my '86 4Runner and ended up running some bilstein 5100s. I really like em, but was wondering what i should do with the front shocks. I've got 1.5 inch BJ spacers and a little torsion bar crank. Would the 5100s be too long? I'm open to either option. I know Bilstein makes a quality product. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy

all i got to say is i got the 5100s all around on my 98 tacoma with the zuk mod in the rear, I got the 5100s set on the second notch and the truck feels real good, not too stiff or too soft its just right.
It gots some awesome handling now since when i first bought the truck the shocks were all messed up all around and the truck was sitting 2 inches lower from all the sag.

I dont know much yet im still learning but you might get a smoother ride if you just get the 5100 adjustables in front and put them on the 2nd or 3rd setting and get rid of the bj spacers. Just a thought and from my experience with the 5100s.

Thank you for that lol. I have never used the torsion bars to raise my truck so didn't know how bad it can mess the ride experience.
