Bilstein 5100 Height Adjustable Front Shock Pair for 96-02 4Runner (BE5-D558-T0 or 24-248730)
We offer a choice of two different Bilstein 5100 height-adjustable front shocks for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner: the classic BE5-D558-T0 that was made by Bilstein for Race Car Dynamics (respect) as well as the newer 24-248730.
Height Adjustment
Ride height is adjusted on these shocks by setting the height of the spring seat with a snap ring that fits into one of three grooves on the BE5-D558-T0 or one of four grooves on the 24-248730. On both shocks, the bottom snap ring groove is around stock height (no lift). The top groove delivers up to 2.5" of lift on the BE5-D558-T0 and up to 2.3" of lift on the 24-248730.
Comparison
The BE5-D558-T0 has slightly longer travel and a slightly higher typical lift than the 24-248730. The 24-248730 on the other hand, delivers finer height adjustment (having an additional snap ring groove). Either choice would be excellent for lifting, leveling, and compensating for winches, snowplows, etc.

Coils
The shocks are available by themselves for customers who wish to pair them with their factory coils - just select the option under 'Assembly.'
For customers who would prefer a fully assembled Coilover with new shocks, coils, and top mounts we offer these shocks paired with Wheeler's coils (620 lb/in rate) or similar offerings from Eibach and Old Man Emu (specifically their 2880. 2881 or 2883 coils). Select the 'Assembly' option and then choose your coil preference in the 'Front Coil' option.
NOTE: The unassembled versions of these shocks don’t come with new stem cushions or washers; you can re-use your existing cushions or (even better) replace them with our Stem Cushion and Washer Kit (sold separately).
These struts are built-to-order items. A cancellation fee of 20% will be charged if the order is canceled after strut assembly begins.
Reuse existing factory coils or order fully assembly with a choice of coils from Wheeler's Off-Road, Old Man Emu or Eibach
