The system ships as four matched component kits and is designed to work together as a unit for corrected geometry and vehicle-specific damping.\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. Lead times vary by part and some items are built to order, so please allow extra time. We email tracking as soon as your order ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Lift With Vehicle-Specific Valving\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2.5 VS Series coilovers are height-adjustable across the full 0–3\" lift range, so a 3rd Gen 4Runner owner can dial in ride height to suit a specific tire size or load without swapping components. Vehicle-specific shock valving means the damping curve is calibrated for the 4Runner's weight and suspension geometry rather than a generic off-road tune, which translates to more predictable behavior both on highway and on trail. The CAD-plated coilover body and 7\/8\" shaft resist corrosion in the mud and water crossings this platform regularly sees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCorrected Geometry Through the Billet UCA and Delta Joint\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included Billet UCA kit replaces the factory upper control arm with a CNC-machined 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum arm that restores and improves camber and caster adjustment range as lift is added. The ICON Delta Joint at the ball joint location combines the high-angularity of a uniball with the weather resistance of a conventional ball joint: a zinc-plated housing and grease seal keep contaminants out, while a greaseable metal-on-metal design extends service life and eliminates the bind that limits full bump and droop travel on OEM geometry. The result is a front suspension that moves through its full range without the bind or premature wear that lifted 3rd Gen 4Runners commonly develop with stock arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFully Serviceable Components Built for the Long Term\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery shock absorber in this Stage 2 system is fully rebuildable and re-valveable, so the investment extends well beyond the initial install. FK Rod End bearings throughout the system reduce deflection and add longevity compared to rubber bushings. An ICON 700 lb\/in Expedition coil option is available separately for heavily equipped builds, and a bump stop spacer kit is also available separately to increase threads beyond the standard maximum recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.5 VS Series Coilovers:\u003c\/strong\u003e height-adjustable 0–3\" lift, CAD-plated body, 7\/8\" shaft, vehicle-specific valving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBillet UCA with Delta Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e CNC-machined 6061 aluminum arm, zinc-plated greaseable Delta Joint, corrected camber and caster adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.0 VS NR Rear Shocks:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0–2\" rear lift range, vehicle-specific tuning, fully rebuildable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\" Rear Coil Springs:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICON-engineered for 1\" rear lift and improved rear-end performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFK Rod End Bearings:\u003c\/strong\u003e throughout the system for extended longevity and minimal deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Serviceable:\u003c\/strong\u003e all shocks rebuildable and re-valveable for long service life\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\u003eLift Range (Front)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0–3\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift Range (Rear Shocks)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0–2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRear Coil Spring Lift\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFront Shock Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5 VS Series Coilover\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRear Shock Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.0 VS NR\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCoilover Body Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCAD plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCoilover Shaft Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e7\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUCA Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCNC-machined 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBall Joint Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eICON Delta Joint (zinc-plated, greaseable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e88 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eK53132B\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 Stage 2 system suits 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner owners who want a matched, geometry-corrected suspension upgrade in the 0–3\" lift range, with the ability to run OEM wheel and tire sizes or step up to aftermarket wheels (17x8.5\" with 4.75\" backspace, 18x9\" with 5.00\" backspace, or 20x9\" with 5.00\" backspace) and tires up to 33x11.25\" without fender modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis system requires aftermarket upper control arms and is not compatible with OEM upper control arms.

For aftermarket fitments, ICON recommends 17x8.5\" wheels with 4.75\" backspace, 18x9\" with 5.00\" backspace, or 20x9\" with 5.00\" backspace, paired with tires up to 33x11.25\" without requiring fender modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the coilovers be rebuilt or re-valved after installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eAll shock absorbers in this Stage 2 system are fully rebuildable and re-valveable. That means the 2.5 VS Series coilovers and 2.0 VS NR rear shocks can be serviced or tuned to a different valving specification as the vehicle's setup changes, extending the usable life of the components well beyond a typical shock absorber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the 700 lb\/in Expedition coil spring included for heavily loaded builds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe 700 lb\/in Expedition coil spring is not included in the Stage 2 system. It is available separately for 1996–2002 4Runner owners who run heavier equipment loads and need a stiffer spring rate than the standard coil provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this system require aftermarket upper control arms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. This Stage 2 system is designed to be used with aftermarket upper control arms only. The Billet UCA with Delta Joint is included in this kit and serves as the required aftermarket upper control arm. The system is not compatible with the factory OEM upper control arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the ICON Delta Joint offer compared to a standard uniball?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ICON Delta Joint in this Stage 2 system combines the high-angularity of a uniball with the weather resistance of a conventional ball joint. A zinc-plated housing and grease seal protect the joint from contaminants, while a greaseable metal-on-metal design allows noise-free operation and a longer service life than an exposed uniball in daily-driven or trail conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICON Vehicle Dynamics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50631935656006,"sku":"K53132B","price":3579.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2203\/1686\/files\/9f107a078c089a5fe2d5bada06191721-sq.jpg?v=1791969376","url":"https:\/\/terrainvault.com\/products\/icon-stage-2-suspension-system-for-1996-2002-toyota-4runner-0-3-lift-b","provider":"TerrainVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
