Lift kit for 6th gen 4Runner -- retrofit TRD Pro / Trailhunter suspensions?

[4running]

As I read @ggrant20's post in another thread about the 2025 4Runner Trailhunter OME Old Man Emu suspension and the TRD Pro Fox suspension, both which give them about 2" inches lift, it got me thinking ahead about lift kits...

There'll be plenty of aftermarket lift kits and level kits available but would it make more sense in terms of cost and performance to install the Old Man Emu or Fox suspension from the Trailhunter or TRD Pro.

Yeah I've been wondering the same thing. Old Man Emu was going to be the first place I looked because I've liked them in general, so if they offer the same one as the Trailhunter or a comparable kit that'd be awesome.

Performing better will always depend who you ask and it'd probably be more expensive than other kits, but I'd lean that way knowing it was developed alongside Toyota because it inherently meets their own standards.

I’m sure it will be an easy retrofit if not a direct fit but definitely more expensive going with OEM Fox/OME suspension versus aftermarket. I ended up throwing on a used set of the fox suspension from a 2021 trd pro on my 2015 Limited a year ago. I much preferred the ride quality of the fox suspension after trying two other aftermarket options.

Reviving this post because I’m wondering this too. Anyone know if we can purchase a fox or old man emu oem type kit and install on a ORP? What about other aftermarket options? I haven’t found any shock/spring/coil over options for the 2025 online and I’m really hoping to improve the harshness of my stock ORP.

Talked to Arb on the phone. I suggest buying the kit thru arb. It’s cheaper and is a 3” front and 2” rear lift kit. You will need the entire kit with UCA’s and rear springs.

not sure about the one that comes with the trail hunter. Maybe the rear spring is the same or maybe it’s not. If it’s not it’s just a rear spring swap and probably a collar spacer for the front. You know how Toyota is. They don’t want their shocks either adjustable clip rings lol.

Thinking about this more.
The aftermarket OME kit comes with light load springs front and rear. In fact those are the only springs available.

no one knows the spring rate of the Oem trailhunter.
some members here have put a tent. Medium springs if they were available should handle 300+ lbs before starting to sag. I’m going to ask
