Ideas for new shocks on '95 Land Cruiser?

It's about time to change 'em. Anyone have any ideas what would be a
good aftermarket shock to go with? What would match the factory ride?
What would soften the ride a little?

Thanks!!

Fully adjustable Konis, hard or soft for yoru comfort or off road use.
Rather a bit exepensive though. BTW They can be rebuilt at 1/2 the cost of a
new shockie and they do last for ages.

Hi Jeff,

Have you looked at the Ole Man Emu line? They're marketed in the US
through ARB, but sold through a lot of different distributors.

I've got a '94 Cruiser and I'm shopping a kit - shocks and springs.
Try [url]www.sleeoffroad.com[/url] or [url]www.man-a-fre.com[/url] for some ideas of what's
available as a pkg.

Rgds,
Scott W

Soften the ride? Stick with OEM Tokico then. Personally, I'd go with more
responsive shocks like Bilstein and switch to P rated (Passenger) tires.
Softer shocks would compromise vehicle handling and safety IMHO.
