Awsome shock, the best I've usd by far.
Just make sure they're well protected from flying stones on the rear.

Just check the lengths and buy the right ones, the ones I got from my early rangie lost about 1.5" of travel because of the gas resevoir being located in the end of them. Make sure they don't bottom out hard otherwise you can destroy them so check you bump stop lengths.

All of the above is true, but they do work very well at controlling the movement, and we do alot of them through here, and I wouldnt recommend fitting them to one end only, for this reason, as they bwill show up what ever is fitted at the other end.
Always use stone shields [we have ours made for the dia around $15 a pr]
We mainly fit them to the 100 IFS [makes a really nice driving and riding vehicle with these] 120 prados, 90 series prado's, nissans, and disco's.
We use genuine toyota bonded bushes in our units for toyota as well, as they last the longest of any shocker bush available.
