yes, this is correct. Chad from @alldogsoffroad was very responsive to my emails and offered to adjust the front 2.0's to match stock height, so getting the 2.0 set of 4 from alldogs is definitely the most economical way to 100% solve the ride quality.
I bought the rear 2.5's because the...

the 2.0 performance shocks also work, but the reason why i got the 2.5 is because if i ever wanted to change the fronts aswell the 2.5 fronts are closer to stock ride height (they...
I'm honestly so shocked (pun not intended) by all this that I'm willing to donate my OEM rear TRD Offroad bilsteins to whoever has a shock dyno to quantify and de-mystify this issue (provided they pay for all shipping costs, and actually do some testing).
As others have said, the difference is...
Judging by the article here: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2025-toyota-4runner-trd-pro-suspension-long-term-update.html probably not.
I just installed the Fox 2.5 rear shocks today and it did make a big difference. The jitteriness and harshness over broken pavement from the rear is...
I definitely wouldn't do it. Tiny 17.9 gallon gas tank + poor highway aerodynamics = fail
I'd keep the 4R and put some Fox shocks on it, they fix the ride quality
If you really want a new car, have you considered the ineos grenadier? It comes in an awesome light blue color, saw one today and...
That makes sense. Did you have to support the rear axle when changing the shock or just let it full droop? Did the car's handling dynamics change at all?
Did these change the rear ride height at all? I'm thoroughly confused why the factory shocks are DOA, considering they are upgraded bilsteins. Also wondering why the ride quality was not fixed for 2026 model year.
I agree with your observations about the crashiness/jitter being 80% in the...
The problem is most likely the shocks having poor valving, not the springs themselves. The thread I linked had an owner who mentioned installing only the Fox 2.0 shocks fixed the ride quality. If you do decide to get the Fox 2.0 shocks, please let us know if it fixes the ride.
That is absolutely well deserved and is probably one of the intended outcomes of this thread. I wish someone warned me about the abnormally poor ride quality before I bought mine. I would have purchased a different car, likely a used 5th gen. It is 100% Toyota's fault they put overdamped shocks...
glad the proposed fix worked! Considering performing the same on mine. Do you feel like its a significant upgrade for all types of bumps, like you can just take speed bumps at whatever speed you wish now?
some useful reading: https://www.adsshocks.com/support/valving_theory/?srsltid=afmboorrjobnqspz7fshk3fu-bemqomwjsfcwmbgg82mgzcprmspvf1i
it appears to me that the poor ride quality is caused by too much crack pressure on sharp high speed compressions. This could be caused by poor valving or...
There seems to be a distinct lack of actual metrics with some people saying "the ride quality is fine" and others like me insisting that it absolutely isnt.
I drove a brand new 2025 trd orp (non hybrid) with a build date of 9/25 and it had the same poor ride quality. The service mechanic also...
I have the factory Falken Wildpeaks on my '25 TRD OR, and have been noticing they have poor traction in snow. Takes forever to stop, ABS kicking in frequently. My previous car with the Wildpeak A/T trail had more grip in snow. Anyone else noticing the same?
I know these obviously aren't winter...
