I thought I read somewhere to use the rear of a VN. I wouldnt be surprised if anything from VN to VS are the same. Ive got a set of VS rears in the shed that I am going to put in mine. Ill take a measurement soon to see if they are suitable

commodore rears are pin-eye type so will only fit in the front of a hilux as the hilux rears are eye-eye

ok i ended up getting a pair of shocks from a vs como. they are eye to pin so im going to use them in the front as my front shocks are maxed out when its not even flexing so i have NO downtravel.

only problem is that the tube in the bush is too smal so i need to press the bush out of myold shocks and put the old bush in my new shocks.
