I have a 2004 GX. I need to change all 4 shocks and I already disconnected all the electronic suspension back in 2012 when i did the Arnott Convertion Kit. So I really don't need any fancy shock with air...
I see a lot of people used the 5100s. Are those electronic air shock...?
Do I search for lexus or 4 Runner shocks... so confusing.
Thanks in advance

I called autozone for parts on a 2004 toyota 4runner limited.
They tell me Beilstein 4600 on the front and 5100 on the back.
Can anyone confirm? Thanks

5100's all around. And no they're not electronic or anything. Just a direct swap. And stay away from autozone.

Went through my Amazon order history, this is what I bought.

Bilstein 33-187174 2" Lift Rear Shock for Toyota FJ Cruiser https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007N6R2NM..._AixLwb3HCJB1Y

Bilstein (24-186711) 5100 Series Front Shock Absorber https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009FU77ZM..._xjxLwbY57NG2X

Out of curiosity, what did auto zone quote you?

angelslex

One was $154 and the other One $174.
Thanks for the info.

Did you changed your springs coil in the front?

So you just left the wiring connectors where they are or zip tie out of the way?

NTH see if this link works.
Thats my DIY project from 2012

Sorry for this hijack.

If the OEM airbags and both front and rear shocks are still in place on a 2014, is the only thing I would need replacement shocks? I know I'd be losing the sport/control settings.

On the part # front shock above is no longer available. Look for part number BSN-24-239370 same exactly part. Bilstein needed to change numbers for storage purposes.

Yep, and wrapped it in electrical tape to keep moisture out
