Kieran Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Hello, I am looking for some advice on purchasing new front shocks for my 1983 Dolphin. I ordered new front and rear Bilstein shocks from Shock Warehouse after calling them and talking to the owner John (super nice), he gave me some that he was *fairly* confident that they would work. I took it to my suspension shop and the rears went on fine, but they said the fronts wouldn't work due to the lower mounting holes being misaligned. Rears that fit are - Bilstein 24-002585 Rear 4600 Heavy Duty (B6) Shock Absorber Dodge D50, Ram 50 Isuzu Amigo Toyota Land Cruiser, Pickup, for anyone looking to order some! They feel great. Fronts that did not fit - Bilstein 24-184830 Front 4600 Heavy Duty (B6) Shock Absorber Toyota Pickup. Has anyone found some that fit the front? Im not attached to Bilstein. Thanks!

Kieran Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 @extech and @WME, Ill check these out! Its hard to know just looking at the photos of them online... Might just be a game of trial and error now to figure out what will fit. I will report back with ones that fit! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Problem is 1983 truck, most fitment charts start at 1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 According to the KYB company website the model number WME posted is the correct shock for a 1983 Toyota truck. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
