Hello all,
I want to replace the front shocks on my 1994 HZJ73 and I am leaning towards these Bilstein 5160’s. All the specs line up to work well except for the bottom eyelet size.
I am out of town right now and away from my Cruiser so I can’t measure the bottom eyelet size, but internet...
My vehicle is a 1981 BJ40 with stock suspension. I’m running GY Duratracs - 235 R85 tires. My question I would like to take a survey on is - Which shock is best for my application? The vehicle is used for mild off reading but mostly a driver.
Heyo,
What's the point of the shock spacer?
I read the description from CruiserPatch, but still doesn't seem to make sense.
If you have not modified the length of the control arm, and have done a 'sensor lift' (modified the selected ride height within the available range), you have not...
I am having large puddling under my truck. Just started recently. We located the leak it’s on top of the shock tower on the passenger side front. It’s leaking constantly and my reservoir will soon be empty. What are my options? Will I be able to drive it once it’s out of fluid? I’m...
Replacing my right rear shock and wondering how to bleed the system after the install. Do you use the bleeder at the accumulator and/or the one at the globe(s)?
I would appreciate any advice.
Like new shock and strut from a 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition. Parts were removed from the vehicle with just over 3000 miles. Should fit 07-21 200 series Land Cruisers. They are in like new shape. Please look at the photos and ask if you have any questions. Located in Arlington...
Hey guys
read a lot about the different shocks and while being on ICON Stage 2 first I'm currently rather stepping away due to maintainance.
Weight info:
Our LC will be getting a Dissent front bumper with a syn. rope winch, adding ~160lbs.
The rear will also get a bumper with wing out for the...
The 2 Bilstein shocks I'm removing each have 2 cupped washers with a rubber spacer between them, at the top of the shocks.
The new OEM shocks I received each come with 2 thicker rubber spacers (90948-01064). Do I need these? How should they be placed?
The dealer also said I needed these 2...
All,
Has anyone compiled part numbers for OEM (including overseas) front and rear springs? I come from the solid axle Land Rover world where huge varieties of OEM springs are available based on market and configuration. This includes different lengths, spring rates, and styles (linear vs...
Looking for a front shock from a 1998-2007 Lexus LX470 or Land Cruiser with AHC.
I'm working on something cool and need one for measurements.

Does anyone have shock and leaf spring recommendations for HZJ75 with 2-inch (50mm) lift? From my research, most of the modern brands (King, Fox, Ohlins, etc.) do not make shocks for this dinosaur. Has anyone had experience with KYB, Koni, Rancho, etc.? I know Bilstein makes one, but based on my...
I'm replacing AHC on my 100. On the rear (and front I assume when I get there) the lower shock mount is only a bushing, and that's what's provided with the kit. These are the white Foam Cell shocks and not the Pro version. So where the lower shock bolt goes through it contacts with rubber...
Hey Mud,
I am going to be converting the wife's 06 LC from AHC to standard suspension over the winter.
Plan is to net about a 2.5" lift. While looking at the order options for King Shocks, it give me an option for custom length for lifted vehicles.
Do I need to custom spec them longer or are...
Last year I researched my shocks to put all the way around both my Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series and my First Generation Toyota Sequoia. I thought I did due diligence and chose Bilstein 4600s for the Land Cruiser and rear end of the Sequoia, and 5100s for the Sequoia front end. They made an...
Hello all I am in need of a leaf spring and a pair of shocks for my trailer, I took it off-road a bit too much and broke the leaf as I did more rock crawling then I anticipated. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement for both or maybe someone has a spare etc.. lmk thanks
Typical 850/860 30mm front spacer fzj80 on 315’s.
I have the normal Ome shocks. Plan has been to put L’s Atleast in the front.
Did usery pass to Apache junction sat. And the lack of travel was annoying. I’m open open. The type of lines I’m used to trying seemed to just pick a tire up and spin...
Purchased this a little over 3 years ago. Has approximately 27,000 miles. Still felt great when installed. No issues. Just your typical road wear on the rear shock body. I just recently upgraded my suspension.
