Suspension modifications can turn your stock 4Runner into an off-road rock crawling beast or an overland prepared adventure platform. We feature many different suspension mods ranging from coilover assembly to long-travel suspension mods, and more. We document the install process for shocks, springs, coilovers, shims, spacers, track bars, CV axles, tie rods, replacing your steering rack, and more.
