Hey I have a 4th gen 4Runner and I put Bilstien 5100s on it and it rides like a gem, don't feel bumps or pot holes at all!
Best Shock absorbers for Toyota 4runner
I replaced my old worn out KYBs with some Bilstein 4600s and it's a night and day difference. The Bilsteins give it a way comfier ride and they're a little firm but they aren't harsh, I'd definitely recommend Bilstein.
I've had these 4600s for a little under a year and they've been a huge improvement over stock, but the rear is sagging with my spare tire + carrier on the hitch.
I deleted the X-REAS on my wife’s Limited 4Runner and switched to the OME BP-51s . Did the same thing for her best-friend’s Limited 4runner and swapped it to Bilstein 5100’s. Both worked fine.
I deleted the X-REAS system on my 5th Gen Limited and have over the years added a couple of different shocks and springs. Now running Kings.
After installing new shocks felt like a completely different car. No body roll or nose dive.
I did bilsteins and solved my problems.
Fox 2.5 in adjusters custom tuned from AccuTune are amazing and they'll tune the shocks for the ride you want it and your mods. I have no regrets.
Some people say Bilstein 5100 remove nose dive, but I disagree - the 5100 help, but you still nose dive.
factory FOX shocks knocked over road bumps (valving issue - needed to be replaced)
