Anybody using these? or have any experience with them?

I think I've found a deal, except I cant find a part number for an FJ60 with a lift.

I think I can get 4 shocks, and the in-cab adjuster, but I'd like to find the right part first...

I have regular 9000s (with the adjustment on the shock body) and have no complaints. I have those PNs if you like.
 
I think they're over rated. Also I couldn't mount them so that the adjuster knob wouldn't get wiped out by rocks on the rear shocks.

I second that. I have them on the rear of my FJ60 and have lost one of the knobs. Fortunately it just knocked the nob off. If I adjust them I have to use pliers. No biggie, especially since I find that I hardly adjust them. I think you would do better to get a set that matches most closely your needs. Simpler, more reliable.

If your truck is stock I would go for the OEM Toyota shocks. All four cost $80 and they are great. If you want something more stiff for pulling heaving loads or trailers, you might want to go with adjustable. The OEM shocks work great for MOST uses, even off-road.

I replaced mine with the OEM and I am satisfied.
