I just bought a pair of Bilstein 5100s for the rear of my 62, part number BSN-F4B461132H0. They are listed by Bilstein as the correct part for a stock 85-90 landcruiser. My 62 has a mild (2") spring lift.
Measurements:
Landcruiser pin to pin distance while on level ground: 17.5"
Landcruiser axle to bump stop: 5"
Shock extended length: 21.5"
Shock compressed length: 16.0"
Sure seems like these shocks will bottom out well before axle does. I'm wondering if I should send these back. If these aren't the right ones then does anybody have a part number for the right one? I would like to make sure I keep as much travel as possible.
Thanks for your opinions,
