You can either go to summitracing or jegs(they have 4 wheeler sections), a lift kit manufacturer web site or a shock manufacturer web site like( fox, walker racing, bilstein, KYB). I noticed you click Cadillac category, so I would recommend the shock manufacturers, since you would need a more street oriented shock.
You can find a variety of shocks at www.shockwarehouse.com. This website allows you to search for the make and model of your vehicle to find shocks that will work for you.
To change the rear shocks on a 1999 Toyota 4Runner the rear of the vehicle must be lifted with the wheels removed. Find the shock mounts and remove those nuts as well as the lower fork hardware. Each shock will slide out in whole assemblies.
no,not truck shocks, but you can use spring helpers or you can order a lift kit for the front and for the rear you can get air shocks from your local parts supplier.
Shocks come in all lengths. You can go to autozone and tell them what type Jeep and if you lifted it .They will be able to help no problem.I have a 90 YJ and did the same thing.Even with the it lifted 2.5 inches.Good Luck! EJEEPERGUY
Air shocks should be installed by a professional. You are dealing with high compression springs which can be fatal if handled incorrectly.
The shocks on a 2000 Ford Ranger are replaced by jacking the vehicle up, removing the wheels, unbolting the shock, and removing it from the vehicle. Because the vehicle is supported off the ground, the shocks are not under load and can readily be replaced.
Koni shocks can be purchased directly from the Koni website. They can also be found at Tire Rack and Racing Beat. They should meet the requirements for any vehicle.

To disassemble air shocks on a Lincoln Mark VIII, start by safely raising the vehicle and removing the rear wheel for better access. Disconnect the air lines from the shocks and remove any mounting bolts securing the shocks to the vehicle. Carefully detach the shocks from the suspension components, and then slowly release any remaining air pressure from the shocks. Finally, remove the shock assembly from the vehicle, taking care to note the orientation for reassembly.
Air shocks allow the vehicle to ride smoother than regular shocks. Also, it helps the car carry greater weight over longer distances than regular shocks.
i recommend after 75000 miles. check for leaks around shock. rubbing, which causes bare metal to show. rust around shocks. do a bounce test: push a corner of vehicle down and then let up, does the vehicle oscillate(bounce) up and down more than once the vehicle is let go. if yes, change shocks. if the shocks are good, the vehicle will bounce once and level out.
Usually shocks on the rear. sometimes struts on the front but it depends on the type of suspension on the vehicle.
