Gday

Need a bit of advice on why these bilsteins i ordered from locktup4x4 dont fit the rear of the 4runner im doing some work on.

Ive already made pin-to-eye adapters for the top but the bottom bushes are 5mm too small!!

Do they come in different sizes,i wouldve thought they didnt as there is no option on the locktup site to choose different size bushings or the option for front or rear.

Really need to get these shocks in,
Ive also already got another set in trasit aswell.

thanks

They'll fit if you bend the mounts out a little. Works fine.

94lux theyre for the rear so the mounts arent tabs theyre a solid bar thats been drilled and tapped.

Fixed it now,ended up cutting the eyelets off and welding the eyelets off the old shocks on.
