Hey everyone,
been a while since ive posted (so long that i had to create a new user account because i couldnt figure out the old one) last time around i had an fj60. i recently sold my 99 4runner and bought a 99 100 series LC. Love the truck so far. ANYWAY I've been researching struts for the last few days and have decided that really there are only 2 sets of shocks out there.. the bilstein 4600's and the OME's. I have 33's on the truck and no lift yet, i plan on getting a small lift in the future but sticking with the same size tires. I really was looking for the bilstein 5100's but it doesn't seem that they are made for this truck? anyway. im looking to buy today or tomorrow so i can get them on this weekend. Does anyone know if the 5100's are made for the ujz100? and if not, why are the 4600's so damn expensive now? are the OME's any good. ive heard a ton of mixed reviews, " you need the ome springs to match these" "they are softer than the 4600's" etc. i HATE the oem struts and how it feels like im riding around in a cadillac. i love the rough bounce feeling bumps and feeling the road feeling. my other ride is a 335i on coil-overs
sorry for the rant. thanks for the help!
