    Hello there!

    Happy to be here in this community, very interesting posts!
    On Saturday I changed differential an transfer oil based on excellent thread! Valvoline 75-90 and new seals.
    Also engine and oil filter;15-40 plus Ceratec from Liquimoly.Toyota 4runner.jpg
    I have several works to do.




    Its 2007; 80,409 miles.

    It's time to replace shock absorber, so need advice...I understand it is a never ending subject, but I would like to go 2.5 up. I have NO idea about!!! I know Bilstein brand that's it!
    What to do? First to consider is bouget, no more than 1K.
    Do I need to replace springs?
    I follow yours advice.
    Thanks a lot!

    Welcome to the forum. Just an FYI, your engine calls for 5/30 oil, not 15/40. Might want to change that out asap to the right weight, especially if you live in a colder climate.

    I'm extremely happy with these. You'll find them around $1100 If you're interested I can reach out to a buddy. They straightened out the look of my 4 runner.
