FJ shocks in 150 Prado?

From my understanding, FJ shocks will fit a 150, is there much of a difference in shock rates?

FJ shocks are pretty cheap in the US where I have a few contacts.

I got some long travel Lovellel Gas Legend Gas shocks for abot 115$ each for the rear of my 150, and so far they seem great ..I would be surprised if you could save much more, once you add postage.

Just another issue to keep in mind. With Brake, steering and suspension components particulalry, it is wise to use components that are either genuine (and I'm not advocating genuine shocks as they are very soft and simply are not up to expectations at all) or you use components that are specifically designed and designated for your particualr vehicle, just in case the unspeakable happens..(a fatal accident)....I know the FJ has lots of similarities with the 150, but personally I would just be a bit wary about uising FJ shocks as they might be somehow different..sorry, I can't help you with the shock rates however.

This might help for fronts http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...-as-FJ-Cruiser Rears are a lot easier to swap from different models. I run 80 series rear shocks in my 120 series.

I'm not sure, but suspect a slightly different bottom pin length on the fronts.

I am running FJ Bilsteins from Down South Motor Sports sourced through E-Bay.........I have a 120.....Apparently 120 and 150 are the same.

Everything bolted up fine..

Thanks for the links, I knew I'd seen them here somewhere, I was looking at truck springs,and Firestone airbags, look pretty good.
