Aftermarket upper control arms are required for installation (Application Note #18).\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.

Extended travel means the front suspension can absorb larger obstacles without bottoming out, keeping the tires in contact with the ground and the steering predictable. Vehicle-specific valving is tuned for the 4Runner's weight and geometry, so the damping curve is calibrated for this application rather than adapted from a generic platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRemote Reservoir for Sustained Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe external remote reservoir increases total fluid volume, which delays heat buildup during sustained off-road use. Cooler fluid maintains consistent damping characteristics on long runs where a standard shock would begin to fade. The reservoir also separates gas and fluid more effectively, reducing aeration and keeping damping response predictable lap after lap or trail after trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExternal Tunability with CDCV\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included CDC Valve provides 10 external adjustment positions from soft to firm without removing the shock. Drivers can dial in a comfort-oriented setting for highway miles, then firm up for technical terrain or loaded touring, with no tools required beyond the adjuster itself. This tunability is built into the kit; no separate CDCV purchase is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0–3 inch lift adjustability:\u003c\/strong\u003e coilover height set via threaded body; heights referenced to a stock-equipped vehicle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.5-inch shock body:\u003c\/strong\u003e larger piston area than stock for improved damping capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10-position CDCV:\u003c\/strong\u003e external compression damping adjustment from soft to hard, included in kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote reservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e extends consistent damping duration and reduces operating temperature during heavy use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC components:\u003c\/strong\u003e CAD-plated shock body; 7\/8-inch induction-hardened, chrome-plated shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFK rod end bearings:\u003c\/strong\u003e extended longevity and minimal deflection at the mounting points\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\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e58716C\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner (front)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0–3 inches (heights referenced to stock-equipped vehicle)\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\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\u003eBody Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCAD-plated, corrosion resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUpper Components\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, CNC machined\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCDCV Positions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e10 (soft to hard, external adjustment)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOEM Wheel and Tire Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Aftermarket Wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eICON Alloys 17x8.5 with 4.75-inch backspace \/ 0mm offset; 18x9 with 5.00-inch backspace \/ 0mm offset; 20x9 with 5.00-inch backspace \/ 0mm offset\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Aftermarket Tires\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e33 x 11.25 inches (larger tires may fit but fender trimming and modifications will be required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e52 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100% bolt-on; no drilling or welding required\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCalifornia Residents: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm (Proposition 65).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis coilover kit suits 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner owners who want 0–3 inches of front lift with extended travel, external damping adjustability, and sustained off-road performance from a remote reservoir system.

ICON Application Note #35 states that remote reservoir mounting brackets on this coilover kit may interfere with aftermarket bumper mounts and windshield washer bottles. Buyers running an aftermarket front bumper should verify clearance before ordering or consult with their installer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat lift height will I actually get, and does vehicle weight affect it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThis front coilover kit provides 0–3 inches of lift height adjustability via the threaded coilover body. Per ICON Application Note #55, the stated heights are calibrated for a stock-equipped vehicle. A heavily loaded or accessorized 4Runner may sit lower than the indicated height; the separately available 700 lb\/in expedition coil spring (Application Note #47) is recommended for heavier builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the CDCV work, and is it included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe CDC Valve is included in this kit. It provides 10 external adjustment positions ranging from soft to hard, allowing damping to be tuned without removing or disassembling the shock. Adjustments can be made from outside the vehicle, making it practical to change settings between on-road and off-road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs this kit compatible with OEM wheels and tires?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes, this coilover kit is compatible with OEM wheel and tire sizes.
