I have a 97 4runner 4 banger, and i am going to be making a custom front bumper, which should weighs around 80lbs. the question i have is i may be able to get a set of slightly used ome 881 with bilstein shocks for a good price. I was wondering how these would hold up to the extra weight of the bumper, i have searched and heard they wont hold up well but i have the 4banger so that means less weight. I just want to keep it stock height, or 1-1.5" above it for now (no winch going in for a while). Would these do the job?

Thanks

 

Actually, Do to the stiffness, Bilsteins are a good choice for the weight of an aftermarket bumper.
