ICON V.S. 2.5 Series Front Coilover Kit for 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma / 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner, 0-3" Lift, Extended Travel, 700 lb/in

The ICON V.S. 2.5 Series Extended Travel Front Coilover Kit fits 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma and 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner (4WD only; will not fit 2WD Tacoma with 5 lug studs) and delivers 0-3 inches of front lift height adjustability with a 2.5-inch shock body, internal reservoir, and a 700 lb/in spring rate engineered for front-end-heavy builds. Extended travel length requires the installation of aftermarket front upper control arms.

More Wheel Travel Without Sacrificing Control

The extended travel design of this coilover kit increases front wheel travel beyond what stock suspension allows, giving the front axle more room to move over rocks, ruts, and uneven terrain. That added articulation translates directly to better tire contact with the ground off-road and a more composed, planted feel on-road. The 2.5-inch shock body and increased piston area over stock components are what make that travel possible: more fluid volume means more consistent damping across a wider range of inputs, so the suspension responds predictably whether the trail is rough or the highway is smooth.

Built for Heavier Front Ends

The 700 lb/in ICON-engineered coil springs are specifically rated for Tacomas and 4Runners carrying additional front-end weight, such as aftermarket steel bumpers or winches. At that spring rate, the coilovers maintain proper ride height under load rather than sagging, which preserves geometry and keeps the suspension working in its intended range. ICON notes this spring rate is recommended only for trucks with additional weight added to the front end; a lighter, stock-equipped build may be better served by a lower spring rate variant.

Adjustable, Rebuildable, and Vehicle-Specific

Height adjustment across the full 0-3 inch range is dialed in at the coilover body, letting the owner fine-tune ride height without swapping components. Shock length and valving are tuned specifically for the Tacoma and 4Runner platform rather than adapted from a universal design, which means the damping curve matches the actual suspension geometry of these vehicles. CNC-machined 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum components, CAD-plated corrosion-resistant shock bodies, 7/8-inch diameter shafts, and FK rod end bearings are all fully rebuildable and re-tunable, so the kit can be serviced and revalved rather than replaced when wear or a change in build weight calls for it.

Features

• 0-3 inch front lift height adjustability: coilover body adjustment accommodates larger wheel and tire combinations
• 700 lb/in ICON-engineered coil springs: rated for front-end-heavy builds with aftermarket bumpers or winches
• Extended travel design: maximizes front wheel travel; requires aftermarket front upper control arms
• CNC-machined 6061 aluminum components: CAD-plated shock bodies, 7/8-inch shafts, FK rod end bearings
• Fully rebuildable and re-tunable: serviceable in the field or shop without replacing the entire unit

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This kit suits 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma (4WD) and 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner owners who are adding 0-3 inches of front lift, running or planning to run aftermarket front upper control arms, and carrying additional front-end weight such as a steel bumper or winch that warrants a 700 lb/in spring rate.

This kit does not fit 2WD Toyota Tacoma models with 5 lug studs. It cannot be installed with OEM front upper control arms; aftermarket front upper control arms are required. The 700 lb/in spring rate is not recommended for stock-weight or lightly equipped front ends.

Common Questions

Do these coilovers work with stock front upper control arms?

No. The ICON V.S. 2.5 Series Extended Travel Front Coilover Kit is designed for use with aftermarket front upper control arms only. The extended travel length exceeds what OEM control arms can accommodate, so aftermarket upper control arms must be installed at the same time.

Will this kit fit a 2WD Toyota Tacoma?

No. The ICON V.S. 2.5 Series Extended Travel Front Coilover Kit will not fit a 2WD Tacoma with 5 lug studs. Confirmed fitment is 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma 4WD and 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner.

Is the 700 lb/in spring rate right for a stock-weight build?

ICON specifies that the 700 lb/in spring rate in this coilover kit is recommended for trucks with additional weight added to the front end, such as an aftermarket steel bumper or winch. For a stock-equipped or lightly built vehicle, a lower spring rate variant is likely more appropriate.

What tire sizes fit with this kit installed?

With the ICON V.S. 2.5 Series Extended Travel Front Coilover Kit installed, ICON recommends 33 x 11.50-inch tires on the Tacoma and 33 x 11.25-inch tires on the 4Runner. Larger tires may fit but will require fender trimming and additional modifications.

Can these coilovers be rebuilt or revalved?

Yes. The ICON V.S. 2.5 Series Extended Travel Front Coilover Kit is fully rebuildable and re-tunable, meaning the shocks can be serviced, revalved, or adjusted for a change in build weight without replacing the entire unit.

Is there a Prop 65 warning for this product?

Yes. California residents should be aware that this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm.
