The T24A-FTS 2.4T engine which is also used in international markets does call for different oil viscosities. If you take a look at the UK owners manual for a 2024 Toyota Highlander with the same engine as the US market Tacoma and 4Runner you will see a different viscosity recommendation based...
That's correct for the most part. The track doesn't narrow much at all and the lift is very mild and respects factory geometry, you will not see any increased wear.
Hey guys! We just got some prototype Perryparts bumpstops in the mail today! If you're not familiar, Perryparts manufactures 3d printed bumpstops. They're a unique design that allows for a progressive engagement vs rubber and polyurethane bumpstops, which reduces harshness at engagement...
When you move the collar down you are reducing tension on the spring, not increasing it.
Shock significantly change ride quality, the valving inside the shock is what controls / slows the oscillation of the spring.
My SR5 had about 4.25" droop at full extension in front and about 4" as well in rear from resting height when I measured the factory suspension on our two post lift. With a mild lift like these coils provide, you still have about 2.5" downtravel with factory SR5 shocks. While the resting...
On an SUV I generally prefer wedge tents vs clamshell tents. It keeps a lower profile over the roof of the vehicle and wedge tents are a lot faster for setup and teardown. From iKamper that would be their BDV series. iKamper makes great stuff. I also like FSR, we've used their tents quite a...
If you have a set of metric tools and a jack and jack stands, these are pretty diy friendly vehicles to work on. Here's a video we did recently showing a 2" lift kit install -
I don't. Keep in mind though that I am running our lift springs which are a dual rate for increased load carry capacity. I don't think you'd see any more body roll with stock springs however.
I haven't run in a 4Runner with the stock Bilsteins yet, but Kyle in our shop has a 24 Tacoma TRD Sport. He's had an interesting upgrade path already. He had similar complaints regarding the factory shocks. We purchased the OE Bilsteins from a TRD Offroad and installed our coils on them and he...
The upper shock stem is different. The 4Runner has a D-cut shaft which locates into the tophat bushing. The Tacoma has a round shaft, it is not D-cut. Also, the lower control arms are different between the 4GT and the 6G4.
Not much nose dive or body roll that I notice. Suspension still feels tight, but more forgiving on rough stuff. I'm not a big fan of Eibach shocks, I ran them on my GX470 and they were firmer even than Bilstein shocks regardless of multiple coil spring changes to try and dial it in.

Hey guys!
Fox has released their 2.0 Performance Series shocks for the 2025 4Runner and we picked up a few of their first sets. We recently installed them on our SR5 and will be posting an install video on youtube in the near future.
If you're familiar with...
