Bilstein/KYB and Lift
Alright, Im thinking about going the cheaper route and buying either Bilsteins or KYB shocks, instead of OME.
Now my question is: If I lift my 3rd gen via spacers/longer coils, will I need a longer shocks? Im looking to get either 2.5" - 3" of lift.
If I do, which I think I will need longer shocks, could anyone give me the model # for either the KYB or Bilstein shocks, and where to buy them online?
When I do searches online, I can only find the stock length shocks for the 4Runner, I cannot find where I can buy the longer length ones.
Thanks!!!

Yeah, the front makes sense...
What about the rear shocks...They seem like they would need to be longer. Of course, I just checked Steve shaffer's site, and he is using the regular length shocks.
I guess that will work...?

Im using the orginal Bilstein shocks for my rears. Im running the Revtek lift. I've had no bottoming out yet, but the lift limits articulation. So I guess adding a longer shock and extended break line would help in the rear. The local toyota lift guy recomened the cheap pro-comp 9000 series. He said anything nitrogen charged would help with the articulation/ travel
