Shocks are done on my 97. Suggestions for new ones?

I’ve decided to fix up my 3rd gen! I drive a tundra, but I also have this 97’ 4Runner that I bought over a year ago. I feel like the shocks are done. It’s 4x2. I want to buy new shocks. I would like to maintain the stock height but a few inches would be fine as well. So together I’m going to get new shocks keep my original rims and get new all terrain tires if possible.

Any feed back would be appreciated! Thank you.

 

Bilstien 5100 will give you up to 2” lift. I had them on my 02 and really liked them.

 

Because I could not find oem springs, being a '98 the springs had sagged and are spongy. Toytec had the solution that worked for me. I was skeptical to spend roughly $1300 for suspension. But after it was all installed, I was happy with the upgrade, and didn't mind the cost.

 

did you use the OEM springs with the 5100's?

 

You can use the oem springs but I would advise using new springs. The oem springs will not last long under their new compressed state. On my Tacoma they lasted 2 years 16,000 miles before needing replaced due to sagging.
