Not exactly sure when we stopped reselling Bilstein shocks for automobiles but it has been a couple of years now. The only Bilstein dampers we currently use are for two motorcycle applications and they are on closeout.
Arnott does not manufacture any shocks. Over the years we have partnered with several major shock manufactures who our engineers work with to custom valve the damper portion of an air strut (or shock in a coil spring conversion kit) to provide as close to the OE ride as possible. Shocks we use are typically not "off the shelf" shocks and involve a great deal of back-and-forth engineering and testing on dyno machines and on our fleet of vehicles.

GX470 Air suspension problem
Please help!
my 2005 GX 470 is stuck on neutral. It was working fine until my alternator went and all the electric system on the car started acting crazy. Once the mechanic replaced the alternator I went to drive it home and noticed the back was totally bottomed out and a very bumpy ride. I noticed that I cannot raise my height control sensor it was stuck on neutral when I go to turn it off the button shows that it’s off but is soon as I start driving the off goes away and I hear the compressor running. I have checked the fuses and they appear fine. My mechanic pulled a code that said continuous electrical current to compressor. He’s saying that my right rear air bag has a hole. Not sure if I trust his diagnosis. Please help!

I’m leaning towards KYB off a 07 FJ
i just want to confirm the part#s prior to purchase.
Do FJ or 4Runner shocks bolt right in with no mods?
