lifted shock/ land cruiser


Recommended Posts

Hello I know I'm a new guy here and I've been reading over many pages of information and I came across a Bilstein part number for the 2 inch lift that is supposed to provide a longer shock so it does not top out that part number was 33-185552. While searching that part number for place to buy from it showed that was a part number for a 1972 Land Cruiser. I thought I would see if anybody else had figured this out yet I was thinking about buying just some regular Gabriel rear shocks for the Land Cruiser to see if they would fit my R50 Pathfinder. Any thoughts?

The Bilstein 33-185552 is a good fit for a 2" lifted Pathfinder. Shocks should be about 16" compressed, 26" extended. The Bilstein 33-185552 has 255/70 valving, which works well for the Pathfinder. The other benefit of the Bilstein is that the body is on top, so the right shock won't interfere with the panhard rod mount when the suspension droops.
