shocks with 3" rear lift
I have the hd spacers and allpro coils.. I am wondering if the rancho 5009's are the correct shock or not? any help here would be greatly appreicated.. Oh and I am already running the 5167's up front so I would like to keep with the rancho's.. Unless someone has a bilstein hookup..

Rancho's catalog does not show shocks for a 3" lift 4Runner. But looking at the shock length, the 0-1" shock (5187) is 13.00" X 20.75"(colapsed X extended) The 5009 is 15.625" X 26.250" (listed for 70-79 Ford 2wheel truck)
It looks like it would work dimension wise. 2 1/2" longer colapsed, 5 1/2" longer extended.

-Now I am switching to Allpro rear coils because the rear end is saggging with the Downey HD coils. I'm not sure how old they are but since I put the BJ spacers and the coil spacers on the rear seems to be saggging worse as time goes on.
-Then I'm getting the front end aligned to fix the horrible camber issue with the front BJ spacers (they really messed up the wear on my BFgoodrich MT's). Hopefully this will solve the issues.

I called them up a month or two ago and asked about it and they said that I could order just the drop bracket. I'll be calling again soon to make sure and I'll post a reply.
