Hi
Can I use OEM shocks on my HJ61 that has a 2in lift, local Toyota have Tokico
585mm - open 380mm closed on the front.
My current front shocks are 650mm open, 400mm closed.
I would like ti use OEM if possible, all road driving, no off-road

Thank you
 
the shorter original shocks can hang up when the axle drops all the way.. increasing the likelihood of breaking the shock mounts when driving fast on rough dirt roads. Also they'll reduce the maximum flex the suspension can travel- if thats important to you.
Driving on pavement, the shorter shocks will be fine. No risk.

Thank you, great, would rather run the OEM. Would you happen to know the open/closed on the OEM rear shocks?

Thanks again
