I am aware they are part # 81147 for your back shocks - Hiace/Hilux part # 81340 for your front shocks - vr/vs commodore rears I don't have them fitted myself, but would like to know what sort of ride you get. |

i think it's the wagon rears fit the front on the sierra. I had them on mine for a while. I used 4wd hilux rears from my old 97 hilux and they were 2inches longer than standard sierra rears. I later got some newer 4wd hilux rears, around 2000 4wd model, they were even longer again. |

commodore wagon rears for the front who would of thought all those years ago when I ruffed my sierra one morning before work and needed longer shocks for now that the wagon shocks I pulled out of the bin that looked like they might work would become the industry standard

Are the sedan ones slightly shorter than those from the wagon? I have 2 pairs and one is a little shorter, just trying to figure out why |

sedan is too long to use you can put sedan in the back of a vit but I think they are a bit long compressed and you ned big bumpstop spacers, good if you have a lot of lift though |

commodore shocks have about 3 to 4inches more travel and they fit straight in no modifications required |

Will the SupaCheap shocks # 81147 fit a sierra with SPOA? I am going to mount the shocks on the bottom of the diff housing. |

yeah more than likely it will work. the rears are a fair bit longer than stock but with your hieght it may work well for you. |
