DIY: Replacing front shock 1993 Toyota Pickup 2wd

[asb81689]

Would this be much different from changing on a 2000 Tacoma 2wd?

Is there a 2-3" lift that one could install on this truck (1993 Toyota Pick-up)

Gread video - but is there any reason you cut the mounting compression strap and removed the top plastic guard and fittings before you started? After reading the Bilstein instructions I thought the strap meant you didnt need to use the floor jack to compress it? I was hoping to see how the strap was removed in the bilstein recommended install method

is there a difference between a 1986 1ton toyota front shock vs a 1/2 ton regular front shock. cause a 1/2ton shock for the front of my truck cost alot less than a 1ton shock. but my truck is a 1ton so if u could let me know what the difference is.

[dubvipers]

probably the shock's different ratings

[1tonyota]

would a 4runner shock work just as well. is there actually a mechanical difference

Actually my toyota service manual says 18 ft-lb top. however the bottom is 13 ft-lb.
