    I was looking to install a set of OLD MAN EMU NITROCHARGER SPORT REAR SHOCK 60062 for my 2000 prerunner. Do I need any additional set of bushings or hardware? Do the new shocks come at stock height or do they need to be adjusted. I'm not looking to lift it right now just do to $$ but just looking to replace my stocks.

    4 run, 2 don't
    Rear shocks don't use springs or need assembly :boink:

    The rear shocks just bolt in place of the old ones. There's no adjustment to them. The rear isn't lifted via the shocks it's lifted via the leaf springs usually.

    Should just be able to buy those OME rear shocks and bolt them right in

    You’ll need to install the bushing into the eye of the shock. Grease it up and use a vise or a C-clamp. I prefer a vise... or you can try to man handle it in there.

    might be able to re-use your stock bushings, if not just order some, cheap enough and wont break the bank.

    As for shock eye bushing install method, I prefer this, it works lol :thumbsup:

    Def also recommend replacing all shocks/struts, a better feel.

    the 5100s are 2 piece bushing, you just place one on either side and just bolt it down. this is a 1 piece that needs to be pressed in the video.
