    Hello!

    94 Base 2wd. Daily Driver.

    I'm currently in the middle of replacing ( basically the entire front end ) due to East Coast rust. I have a couple questions!

    Most of my replacement parts are sourced from Moog by way of Rock Auto:
    Ball Joints, End Links, ETC.
    UCA / LCA are OEM Replacements from Dorman.
    Replacing basically all rusted bolts - sourced from Toyota.
    Front and Rear Shocks - BILSTEIN 4600

    I'm now looking at lowering about 2 inches front and rear.
    Front using Belltech Drop Spinals
    Rear 2inch Lowering Blocks.

    Can I lower using the new shocks while using this lowering equipment?

    Will I rub with 195 /75 R14 tires. ( again stock ).

    Overall thoughts on MOOG for OEM Replacement?

    Thanks!

    Moog & Belltech are the best choice
    The shocks should work unless you go lower

    Make sure the Moog ball joints have castle nuts. i used moog balljoints on my first truck that only had nylock nuts. There is a nice 16' gouge in the asphalt around the roundabout in Fort Bragg CA from my right control arm when that nut came off.

    Thanks - they came with Castle Nuts, although...they seem like they could use a heavier material.
