Neccesity is the mother of invention. Nice job, cool music too. I have a 4 gen 4runner I removed the xreas shock system some 100k miles ago and put Bilstein 4600 series shocks all around. Now, I can feel it’s time for new shocks. I ordered front coil overs completely assembled , I went with KYB this time, I also have rear air suspension that I’m researching how to yank that out and go with coils, possibly from fj cruiser. Thanks again for taking time to make this video.

Hey Josh, I dig your videos, lots of great information in them. Your camera work is amazing, especially since it looks like you're doing all your own setup work; must take a long time to do and take a lot of extra effort. Wanted to throw this out there. Don't know if this is true for the OME 2862, but ARB springs are usually marked "A" for the drivers side (North America) and "B" for passenger. "A"s are usually longer by a bit and help compensate for the weight of the fuel tank located on the drivers side. I think you may have mentioned it the other way around in the video.

Hey Josh. I bought the 3" spings from your site. A good way i got those shocks of is if you go under where your spare use to be..... you can get a pair of vise on the top, wedge it and break the nut loose. Of course with some lube. Then the easy part.... put the 17 wrench on the nut and spin the shock. Nut comes off so easy... great videos. Keep up the good work sir!

Hey buddy, yes. Instagram @1stgenoffroad. When I made this video I was running Bilstein 5100s on the 3rd notch with factory coils. When I added the new bumper, it added about 150lbs to the front end so I upgraded to Icon Coilovers with a 700lbs spring. But if you’re not running a steel bumper or winch, I think the Bilstein 5100s are great.

@1stgenoffroad655 5 жыл бұрын

2 options for springs, ARB and Dobinsons. Both are great. Both offer progressive and linear options. Dobinsons probably has more Options. But anything from 1.75” - 4”. For shocks you have many more options. Bilstein, ARB, Dobinsons, Icon, Fox, etc. I think you get what you pay for. Icon and Fox come in full coilovers and range from 0-3” in the fronts. They are rebuildable.

Good job! When I started working on my 2007 & 2005 Sequoias there wasn't much info out there. My 2007 was straight forward for the rear but the 2005 had rear air and I had to engineer a fix. For both my ARB springs settled so I reinstalled the RevTek rear Polly spacers. I'm having lots of body roll on the 2005 that had rear air. The 2007 handles like a sports car (not litterally but compared to the 05) I just installed new Bilstein 5109s all around and it's a bit better. I'm thinking maybe I should upgrade the sway bars? Thoughts? I can't find anything on the web about the 2007 upgrades compared to the 2005 to explain the difference in handling. Any advice is appreciated. I can give more information on removing the rear air computer controls and components if anyone needs. Keep it up!

@1stgenoffroad 5 жыл бұрын

Nice work with removing the air bags. What did you use for the rear spring insulators when you took out the air bags? Toyota OEM insulators are expensive. And did you throw any dash light codes? Did you have to pull any fuses? I ended up putting ARB 60020L shocks on with the 2862 springs in the rear. Cut the rear sway bar link (too much rust to unbolt). I thought it might corner like a drunk elephant, but honestly, I can't tell the difference.

Good morning... a few questions??? The link for the rear Bilsteins are to a 2" Fj Cruiser shock. Is that correct? Also, why did you change to the ARB shock? Was there a noticeable performance change from Bilstein to ARB?

@1stgenoffroad 5 жыл бұрын

Performance is way better. The Insteon FJ shock is way too short. Toytec still uses it in their Boss kit. That’s why I thought it might be a good idea in the beginning. But it’s not a good idea. Anyone who truly knows these trucks will ttell you.

@maranojames 5 жыл бұрын

I have a 2001 Sequoia. I am ready to purchase shocks and coils. I want to gain 2-3" total. What do you recommend? ARB complete suspension kit on your site or Bilstein 5100 with Dobinson coil on front and ARB with coils in the rear? Once I do it I will not have the money to do it again... My wife won't let me LOL. I want to learn from your expertise and trail and error.

Can the old spring be used with this shock? Will it still lift there rear? If so how much? Thanks.

@1stgenoffroad 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. The rear shocks can be used with the factory springs. The springs give the lift, so you won't get any lift if you don't replace the spring.

How do I know if I should replace my front springs when adding new shocks? I have an 02 I think they're original, also, why don't you use bilstein 5100 fronts anymore?

@1stgenoffroad 3 жыл бұрын

The 02 is 19 years old now. I would go ahead and replace the springs. Bilsteins aren't too bad. I took them off when I put the heavy bumper on. Then I put them on my Tundra. Then I took them off the Tundra and they're going on the 3rg gen 4Runner. They're not bad for the money, but there are better things out there.
