one of my shocks is leaking on the front drivers side and i think is causing the runner to ride not as smooth as it should on the highway and a buddy of mine said he'd sell me his ranchos he had on for a few months for $50. He took them off because he lifted his truck. the shocks were on an 83 toy pu and I was wondering if the will fit on my 94 runner? anybody know

 

c-mon somebodys gotta know.

 

I think the 83' use a coil over shock and I know that your 4Runner setup uses torsion bars with the shocks mounted between the control arms. Might not work. Can you post a pic of the shock, I could tell you then.

 

I dont have a pick of the shock but there RS5000's, its the shock length I'm wonderin about. I know those shocks are for light applications but dont know about the lenghts of the shock being the same?

 

I assume you mean the 2wds had the coilovers? huh, never knew that.

Yota, check out the rancho website, they have a pretty good pdf that shows which shocks fit what. In addition to the length, you have to pay attention to the attachment method.

 

thatx RobinHood150 I'll have to do some more research and maybe go by les schwabs and see what they say I'm sure they will be able to tell me.

 

A few minutes at Rancho's website (www.gorancho.com ) yielded this:

'83 truck front shock:
RS 5136 11.25" comp. 17.375" ext.

'94 4Runner front shock:
RS 5145 9.375" comp. 13.375" ext.

The ends are the same. So, the shocks technically will fit but they are too long for your 4Runner.
