I have an sj413 and want to get a bit more articulation. I ve noticed the standard shocks are pritty buggered and not all the same, are there any second hand longer shocks that fit. then what else would I need to do?Any Info would be much appreciated. thanks

Hilux rears in the rear, depending on amount fo lift you have you may have to lay them over /\ with a new mount bolted to the original upper mounts.
Up front VL commodore rears work well but up need to lift the upper mount a lot. I originally made new ones but F250 fromt mounts work ( think it was 250 may have been 150)
413 articulation is really an oximoron in that factory its pretty limited. But they can be made to flex ok.

Using 2in lifted springs like OME which are longer and not just arched , 1in longer shackle , and some standard aftermarket lifted 2in lift shocks are about as much as you can do for improving articulation with-out cutting, moving and welding mounts etc. Correct bump stop spacing will help as well. Have you removed the sway bars?
A 413 with this setup will perform remarkably well. Im using cheap-ish Monroe shocks and quite happy with how they perform.
my 2c.

I have some aftermarket calmini shocks for suzuki, think they are about 2-3 inches longer than stock worked well with lifted leafs and longer shackles. Need longer shocks as gone spring over but willing to sell the calimi ones at the right price.
