shocks

On my '07 GX470 with 105k miles, I am replacing failing OEM shocks with Bilstein 5100's. The shop that's doing it for me is telling me I have to replace the airbags with springs at the same time. Is that true? Is there some reasonable argument why it's better to convert the whole system all at...

Selling a full set of ORI STX struts. 2-14" and 2-16". The 14" struts have been used for a season on my 2002 Tacoma but are in perfect working condition. No shaft scratches or dings. Very minor scratches on the bodies. The 16" struts are brand new. They were simply used to mock up a suspension...

New shocks that were mounted but never driven or used. They were on the vehicle x 1 week just to get measurements (reasoning this happened is the importer for the vehicle needed shocks on the vehicle to get measurement for the radflo shocks, I am not sure why but I plan to make a post about...

Shocks by Strutmasters for stock height 100 series. They ride very similarly to OEM shocks. They have 30k miles on them, and they still ride very nicely. If you need to replace your shocks but don't want to spend a lot/upgrade, this is a great deal. Includes all hardware/bushings. Located in...

Current set up - OME J-Springs & L-Shocks, Slee bumper / Winch, Dual battery, Cooper 35s, 4X4 Labs rear. Looking at spring and shock options. Considering Slee shocks with medium 4" springs. Also looking at a few other options but Slee option seems pretty cost-efficient relative to other...

Pardon everyone for posting this on the Compiled Suspension spec thread earlier. I recently picked up a set of King 2.5 resi adjustable shocks for 0-2" lift for my 80 as well as 2.5" caster plates from Wits' End and new OEM bushings for the control arms. I'm on OME medium springs (~ 2.5" lift)...

i have a 2003 100, what are the best offroad shocks that dont break the bank? anyone know where to get a leveling kit?

Hey all, I'm looking at getting a lift at some point for the cruiser. Nothing crazy, just a normal lift to get a bit more clearance, replace old springs/shocks, and hopefully improve ride quality a bit. I've found plenty of threads to read about all the various options out there, but i feel...

1976 FJ40 with about a 4 inch lift (guessing, not sure how you tell). PO added this modification to the rear shock mounts at the top of the shock. Why would you do this? Should I attempt to cut it off and salvage the post and run a die over the threads? Do they make a shock that could accomodate...

Selling a set of Bilstein HD 4600 for 100 Series. Shocks work great, just went a different route after lifting. These are great alternative to OEM that provide a more planted ride. Installed these new in February 2017 and have since put on about 12k miles. All necessary hardware included...

Disclaimer: My intention is to share my experience, and what worked best for my application and use. I am and will never claim to hate on a specific shock brand, and say one is better then the other overall and instead provide details of how they all performed in my testing and where they excel...

Was doing some driving on trails in Northern Michigan and might have hit a bump a little too big in one of the many mud pits I drove through. I'm having the mount welded back and reinforced but I also noticed the shock is almost worn out. Does anybody have good brands for new shocks?

TL;DR: What are the signs and symptoms of AHC shock absorber failure? FULL STORY: I’ve been trying to trace a front passenger side suspension noise on my ‘01 LX470 for months and a few weeks ago I decided to spend the diagnostic fee at Lexus to have them track it down (I’m injured and can’t...

Set of Old Man Emu shocks, like new condition, for 100 series. I had these on the LC for about 1500 miles, but they were too stiff for my taste. Excellent condition obviously, with exception of a few rock chips that come with living on a gravel road. They come with the bushings, support plates...

I know there are hundreds (or thousands) of shock threads. I have searched, but not found a straight answer to this issue. I am running a complete 2.5" OME lift from Slee on a '97 LX450. Heavy springs in front, and medium springs in rear. ARB front bumper with a dual battery. My problem is...

I've seen a lot on here but not on this particular question. First off, I'm a newbie, first build. I've read a bit about designing for shock mounting, locations etc. This basic article was helpful: Everything you wanted to know about Shock Absorbers - 4x4Review Off Road Magazine I realize it...

The Ultras are popular here and are the same price as OEM (20$ each) Does anyone here run them and what are they like? I’m looking for more control over the soft sand and corners.
