I have a question about shocks/struts and lifts.

Okay so I see people like to use Bilstein 5100s on their 1st gen tundras.

So lets say I want to do 1 inch lift in the back and a 2 inch lift in the front.

Would I just order 4 sets of these:

which would give me 4 shocks, then i'd install them all around and set them accordingly?

Or do I need to use struts in the front/back instead?

Like this?

I'm a little confused.

What would you do?

Any help or thoughts welcome.

 

I went to post on your thread and realized what you are driving... Not sure on what looks best as far as height.

Here is a full kit... http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Old-man-emu-lift-kit-for-80-series-cruiser_p_252.html

 

I do mean for the 1st gen tundra though.

Getting one soon. This is one of the first mods I'd like to do.

 

Dang... Sorry man. Toytec will get the right stuff for you though

 

Actually thanks for posting that website!

See I was trying get some sort of lift, and saving some money:

And it looks like that site has a kit of 4 for 400 bucks.

This is what i'll probably order. Thanks.

Still not sure if the shocks go on the front or back or if the struts go on the front or back.

 

When you crawl under your truck you will see. Struts on front. They have the adjustment ring. Shocks on back.

 

Alright thanks man, i dont own one yet so i didn't know but i did have a feeling it was that.

 

Well when you get it, hopefully you will post pics
