    B65114AF-E560-4350-8F26-0B3BDDBA1CD0.jpeg hey Guys! New to this forum and a week ago i got a 1977 hilux as my first toy! I got my front springs cut 3 coils and removed the bump stops and put 4 in blocks and removed those bump stops as well and removing the middle leaf soon. But I was wondering what shocks would be best suitable for the front? The ones the previous owner had on are too big (and Booty) so I’m tryna see which shocks would be better and help ride better. Thanks in advance!

    Any shock you put up front is going to be almost fully compressed. Just shove a new shock in there and call it a day.

    Unless you want to do some cutting and welding
