How to Replace the Rear Shocks in Your 3rd Gen 2002 Toyota 4Runner

[@odalisalmonte6121]

certainly, you are the only one in the whole web that showed the top nut removal from the shock... Thanks a lot!

You're welcome. It was a bear to get the camera up there, but I'm glad I was able to share.

Nice of you to actually show us what you used on the top nut and how you managed to get your hand up in there to get the nut...

[@goatsinapond]

I hear ya. Making videos has been a huge learning experience and sometimes I leave out important details not realizing it. I used a 17mm deep socket up top. Slide your hand up exactly where I pushed the camera up there at the upper rear control arm seen at 2:26.

Nice rig, no rust. Those nuts and bolts are usually usually rust welded in NJ.

Thanks! I've bought a few vehicles that lived up North and it was a different experience to work on them.

Hi, short question. What tires and rims dou you have on it? And which lift kit is it? Just bought an 1998 and have to do some mods ...

[@goatsinapond]

I have modern matte black TRD Pro wheels, part number PTR2035110BK. The lift kit is the Toytec Ultimate full suspension kit providing 3 inches of lift and a diff drop.

Did you jack it up?

[@goatsinapond]

Left it own the ground. The rear springs held it just fine while doing the swap.
