Well FWIW, lol..
I mentioned to use ranchos site to find the lengths of shocks that would work for the lift. They have the OEM size and lifted size, same with monroe-but just the oem size.
This way you dont buy shocks made for a 4 inch lift, which is mostly whats offered. You buy shocks for a 2 inch lift like you ordered.
IE: I know the regular old trucks and 4runners need to use suzuki samurai stock shocks up front as they match the specs for the balljoint spacers compression and uptravel.

Bilstein's are quality shocks that will last a long time. You might talk to the lift manufacturer about which shocks to buy, but for a 2" lift, stock length or very close to it is probably ok.
The Total Chaos idler arm the the best one out there. Not cheap, but its the last one you'll ever buy.

Erik B said: You might talk to the lift manufacturer about which shocks to buy... Yup. That is why I would recommend you use the ToyTec ProComp extended length shocks if you already bought the Toytec 2" lift kit. I can assure you from 2 years of personal experience that this is a great set-up.

OK SO IM THE GUINEA PIG I GUESS...
I just squeezed the trigger on the monomax kyb part number 565084 front for lifts 0"-2" the only thing that scares me is the rears dont list for a lift, part number 565035 and there is only 1 option for the rears... hope this will work bcause i ordered them 244$ shipped from partsgeek.
amazon was little cheaper but free shipping from partsgeek made it 20$ cheaper in the long run... WISH ME LUCK!
