shock absorbers

With how expensive aftermarket parts have gotten I’m sure most people just go with oem, but just wanted to say to always stick with OEM! These Monroe rear shocks are clearly much smaller than the Toyota ones. I also did have to buy new retainers that fit the oem shocks and they were more...

Looking for a good (OME, Dobinsons, or similar), used set of IMS monotube shocks with low mileage for both the front and rear of my stock height FZJ80. Must offer shipping if not near West Chester, PA.

Contents: Background to upgrade/previous setup First thoughts Removal/Installation tips ----Background---- Just installed Bilstein 4600's on all 4 this weekend. Picked them up from 4 Wheel Parts in AZ for 279 out the door. First time doing shocks by myself - if I can do it anyone can! My Hundy...
