check out Bilstein and Edelblock.
I used Edelblock with thicker torsion bar before SAS. Most folks add bushings to the top for more droop.

Hey, when I was in Autozone this week I saw some shock post extenders. Looked like maybe about 1.5 inch extensions. I'm running Gabrial air shocks.

im running procomps up front. they are the ones that are made for their 4" lift kits, from the measurments that i took from my 4runner, they were the perfect amount of compression and droop

Hey kevin, do you have the part numbers for the Procomps? How do they compare on and off road? I have the stock height bilsteins now, they're great but I want something that will allow more flexion with spacers.

I just got some sky Jackers for the rear of my 4runner after getting my 1.5" rear lift and have been really happy with them. They were fer stock to 2" lift runners and cost me $50 each. Track nicely on and off road.

I am also running the Procomps with a procomp steering stabilizer--so far I am very happy on and off road.

hmmmm i don't know if i can find the part # but i'll try and dig up the site that i bought them from. as far as how they handle, both on and offroad they're great, much better than the monroes that i had on there before.


ok well here is the link to where i bought mine.. linky

the part # is EXP-318514, but you should really measure for youself to make sure that these are the right size ones for your rig. they also have some other sizes.. another linky

hope that helps

I am running Rancho 5000 PN# RS5167 on mine. You can likely get the Rancho 9000 series it would RS9167.

Thanks for the info, once I get the spacers on there I'll measure and see what works best, I think I may try and put them on this weekend. Hey Swordfish, you wouldnt want the Bils, if you decide to go stock let me know!
