So I have a 1974 FJ40 and purchased some new shocks. I installed them this weekend and I think that the rear shocks are too compressed. The shocks I purchased were the Bilstein 5125's. The front are model 33-185606 with a compressed length of 14 and extended 22.5. The rear are 33-185552 with a compressed length of 15.9 and an extended length of 25.9 (so 10" of travel). They are compressed to about 19". So the question that I have is, Is the shock to compressed. The alternate would be to put the same ones from the front to the rear.
The ones that I pulled off were some Rancho 5000 and they had the same travel range. I can post a photo if that is helpful
