I need new shocks for my 98 4Runner, so I have chosen to go with the Bilstein's. I have a question for those of you who have actually ran the 5125 and the 5150's. I can't decide if I want to stick with the HD's for the rear, or go with the 5125 or the 5150. Do the regular HD's limit travel to stock or do you get some more travel out of them? I drive this truck daily and wheel it for fun, I don't mind a firm ride as long as it is subtle, so what is the valving like on the 25's and 50's vs. the HD's? If I did go with the 25's or 50's for the rear, what length would be best, I intend on lifting the truck about 2 inches all around.

 

Anyone? I know it's a vague question but I was looking for some more info than the selling sites give you. I couldn't find anyone that has run these on a 3rd gen when I searched, so...
