Yes, you can use them with no problem. A lot of guys on the 4Runner forum do the same thing.

The 5100 series are the silver unpainted shocks. You can double check the P/N on Bilstein's website if your concerned about what you're purchasing.

If ur car has air suspension in the rear only then yes, if ur car has front & rear suspension then u need a different kit.

If you buy the combo kit you get springs for the front an shocks for the rear, if you get the slammer shock it's jus the pair if rears

Not alone. This rear shock can ACCOMODATE up to 2.5 inches of lift, i.e. with a rear spacer or lift springs. The front adjustable 5100s do provide lift (4 different positions from stock to 2.5, I think), but these are not the adjustable model.

The front shocks are different from the rear. The front will work on either side. The rears are left and right.

The answer is YES, Peter. This is a COMPLETE KIT two front and two back shock absorbers. I think that what complicates the description is that some people call the front ones Struts and the back ones Shocks. The Ride is great after you install these beauties! You won't regret your investment!

The coils / struts (aka shocks) comes as a complete assembly .... So no putting things together .... Just take old assembly off and bolt new one in ..... If you are talking about rear shocks .... Sure you can use whatever

I have a 6.5 inch lift and I had to change out to the lift kits provided rear shocks. These bilstiens only lift the rear end maybe an 1 1/2 inches on there so i thnk they would limit height and could limit travel causing possible damage. Do what i did phone the manufacturer of your lift kit.

I don't think this will fit your bike, due to the configuration of your rear shocks.

I'm not sure it depends on your particlular application. I go to rockauto.com to see whats out there for what I need and then shop for prices when I have the right part number. These shocks are generally for the rear. Hope this helps some.

You use your factory shocks. The kit come with extentions. It rides fine with this kit. Mine always had a pull to it but a new rear track bar fixed it. But the pull was not bad and you don't need it to run this lift.

Right now I only have the level kit on. I have not gotten to the rear blocks and shocks yet. But yes you put them on stock and use the new u bolts they provide.

Go to this website before you buy your shocks. http://www.bilsteinus.com/products/truck-off-road/5100-series-ride-height-adjustable/You should know what your buying before you buy it. I love my aluminum colored shocks and they are exactly what I wanted and expected.

Yes, you stock JK shocks will work just fine! If you have any other questions, let us know...-Jason

First four answers are incorrect. These are definitely for the FRONT. You can tell by the top - it's threaded to insert into the upper arm. The rear shock has a hole mount on top and bottom as Roy points out below. Bilstein makes a 5100 for the rear as well. I recently put them all around on my 2007 Tacoma. Rear is easy, front requires a spring compressor or if you have a local shop that will install customer provided parts the price should be around $125

Hi Luis...I am not qualified to answered that set of questions. I just replaced my old shocks with those new ones and they were an easy swap and worked fine...:if you are going to try and change several items, you should stop by an auto parts store and get their help in looking up what you would need to complete your project...I hope this helps...John
