Fox 2.0 shocks installed on SR5 - review: comfort and handling significantly improved

[pamy105]

Just got Fox 2.0 shocks installed on my 2026 SR5 4Runner and they were absolutely worth it. They took about three weeks to come in, but the wait was worth it. I had them professionally installed, and all in, the cost came to about $2,300.

The difference is night and day. The truck feels much more planted and controlled now, and it really settles down the ride, especially that rear axle flutter. I didn’t completely level the front end, just added about an inch of lift out of the possible 1.75" to completely level. It doesn’t drive like a Lexus, but it’s much closer to our old GX550 than a stock SR5. The comfort and handling are significantly improved, and I’d highly recommend this setup.

Did you change upper control arms?

Nice review. I had these on my old 100 series Land Cruiser and thought they rode great on it. I was wondering if they would be an option for the 6th gens so this is good feedback.

I've been running them for a while and have been really happy with them. Glad you like them too!

Loved my Accutune Fox 2.5's and Icon UCA's on my 2021. As you say made it feel planted. Haven't pulled the trigger on this one yet

No need to change control arms for an inch of lift All Dogs Offroad has a full thread on these, maybe see if you can find that for a read also!

FYI I have these in my garage and they ship with a 2.25inch lift in front.

What is your rake front to rear? Just curious.

I have 1" of rake currently, but I do not have my overlanding / camping gear in the vehicle right now. When I am loaded up I expect to be at around 3/4" rake.

I Put them on my 2026 Iforce max this week and its amazing. I run a 34" tire with 17's with a 0 offset.
this lift still requires some trimming to clear the wells. The ride is so much smoother.
