When I first lifted my rig I had the HD OME coils and HD Bils and it was a bit on the stiff side but MAN that truck could handle. I broke the revos out once! And, believe me, I drove the thing! I took care of a set of powerslot rotors in a little over a year... I miss that setup dearly now that I'm running coilovers (with bill shocks) but with no swaybar and I think my downey sprints are compacting...

The CABE Bilsteins are stock length, I went with the Bilstein 5100 shocks for 86~95 4Runners with 3~4" lift (think I got them from eshocks.com 299.99 shipped to my house), I really like them, although I only had them on for 13 hours before I rolled my truck :cry: Before the roll I did feel a big difference, but I have heard it might take a month for the shocks to seat in...

Soon I will be able to let you know what I think about them.... soon....

Don't waste your money or time on the Rancho 9000's, go with Bilsteins, much, much better.
