The kit is 100% bolt-on with no cutting or welding required, and it is available as a single fitment for the 1996–2002 4Runner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-shipping-note\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICON parts ship direct from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, mostly by UPS Ground.

That specificity means the damping curve is calibrated for the actual loads and travel rates this platform generates, producing more predictable handling on pavement and more controlled body motion on rough terrain. The result is improved ride quality over stock in both environments without the compromise of a one-size-fits-all shock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRemote Reservoir for Sustained Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe external remote reservoir separates additional fluid and gas volume from the main shock body, which extends the duration of consistent damping before heat-induced fade sets in. During extended off-road use, repeated hard compressions on a trail or a long washboard section raise operating temperature faster than a conventional shock can shed it; the reservoir keeps that temperature lower throughout the run. Consistent damping throughout a demanding section means the suspension behaves the same at the end as it did at the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Lift and Engineered Components\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 0–3 inch lift range lets the owner dial in ride height to match wheel and tire choices without swapping springs. ICON-engineered coil springs, 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC machined components, a corrosion-resistant CAD-plated shock body, a 7\/8-inch induction-hardened chrome-plated shaft, and FK Rod End bearings are all included in the kit. The FK bearings are designed for extended service life and minimal deflection under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.5-inch shock body:\u003c\/strong\u003e larger piston area than stock for improved damping ability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0–3 inch lift adjustability:\u003c\/strong\u003e height set via coilover preload without spring swap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote reservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e maintains cooler operating temperature during extended off-road use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle-specific valving:\u003c\/strong\u003e tuned for 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6061 aircraft-grade aluminum components:\u003c\/strong\u003e CNC machined, corrosion-resistant CAD-plated shock body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% bolt-on installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e no cutting or welding required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShock Body Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift Height Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0–3 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShaft\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e7\/8-inch induction-hardened, chrome-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMain Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6061 aircraft-grade aluminum (CNC machined components); CAD-plated shock body\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFK Rod End bearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100% bolt-on, no cutting or welding\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOEM Wheel and Tire Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Aftermarket Wheel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8–8.5-inch wide with 4.75-inch backspace\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Aftermarket Tire\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e33x11.50-inch (larger tires may fit but may require fender trimming or modification)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e58712\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis kit suits 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner owners who want a front suspension upgrade with 0–3 inches of lift, improved damping over stock, and the ability to run aftermarket wheels and tires up to 33x11.50 inches without cutting.
