Oh nice - that's exactly what I'm looking for. Do you happen to have the exact part numbers for the front and rear sets? City Racer is out of stock, but I found them on 4-wheel parts—trying to determine which exact model to purchase: Bilstein 4600 Series Shock Absorbers - https://www.4wheelparts.com/b/suspension/shock-absorbers/bilstein/4600-series/_/N-cm7ltZ1z0t5upZ1z0t5vrI bought these, easy to install, ride feels great.
Yup, looks right. Thanks!Pretty sure these are them:
Front Shocks: BIL24-002479
Rear Shocks: BIL24-002561
This is awesome! Thanks for putting it all together and sharing, this will be a big help. It looks like the overall cost is significantly less than one of the off-the-shelf lift kits as well. Keep us posted with the install!Updated table including shocks:
Will do! Just waiting on the rear springs to come in (about 2 weeks) and I'll throw everything on. And yes—definitely less than an off the shelf kit for those who want a high-quality stock setup.This is awesome! Thanks for putting it all together and sharing, this will be a big help.

Nice—good to know! I'm surprised that didn't come up in my Googling, but great to know there's another option.About 5 years ago I ordered and installed some front stock height springs from SD Truck Springs after one of mine broke. They were just fine. I ran them for a few years before deciding to go with OME to increase carrying capacity. They are priced about the same as General Spring. Maybe another option to check if availability an issue.
I know this is a late reply, but Atlas springs out of California is one I am interested in. I am replacing the old OME springs/shocks on my 87 to stock height. I'll be using theirs with fox shocks back to the factory height. Good luck.
Quite welcome! One thing to note: the front Bilstein's are on backorder for a long time. I got some really basic, cheap shocks from my local 4WheelParts store so I can get everything on, and will throw the better shocks on whenever they get in.@jawbone thank You for posting up the parts list on the suspension refresh. I just ordered all the items listed. for a refresh I am doing on an 87 fj60.
Great Job!
Yeah, interested to know what you're going with. I did a bunch of research and Fox never came up as an ideal option for a stock setup, but I'm a huge Fox fan based on my experience with their mountain bike suspension products.What fox shocks are you going with? I'd love to run fox but not sure what fits.

Wow, great catch! I updated the original post.4th item down is a RIGHT HAND DRIVE tie rod end kit. Is your truck right hand drive? Looks like left hand drive in the avatar pic.
Great to know.Bilstein can rebuild shocks too. So if you can find the ones you want used but worn out it’s worth asking them about rebuild. They can also tailor the valving in some of their models to match your needs.
