Howdy

I did the searching and I "think" I have some decisions made, but where I get lost is selecting shocks.

I have a 96 Auto 4x4 4runner (96k mi) - it is mainly the "wife's" car. I take it on some trips, mostly on crappy dirt roads in Baja, no crawling. The rear end has quite a sag, so I am going to replace the springs. I looked and the OME and OEM (tundra) lifts lift the vechicle more than I am looking for. I did a OME lift on my 89 LC, and she was "shocked" at how "tall" it is now. The tires are new 265/75/16, so I really don't want to lift it and do the big tire thing.

Based on posts, I think I am going to replace the rear springs to stock 99 4x4 4runner springs.

The shocks are shot, so I also want to replace them as well. What are the recommendations for essentially stock replacement setup?

Thanks in advance

For an "essentially stock replacement setup" for your shocks go with the Monroe Sensatracs. They have a lifetime warranty and will perform much better than stock for typical driving (mostly highway with occasional light to medium off-road). I can get you the part numbers if you want.

 

Part numbers would be very cool, and add to the knowledge base...

Thanks a million
