I am purchasing a set of 2011 FJ coilovers, rear springs and rear shocks for my 05 runner. Has anybody done a write-up on the modifications needed on 2010+ shocks for fitment on 4th gen 4runners?? If so can you please refer me to it. Thanks!

Just did the trd pro kit on my 03 and I just needed to enlarge the upper shock mount hole a little bit. It was a very easy mod.

Just installed some 2012 FJ 4x4 springs (take offs, so basically brand new) with some Bilstein 5100s on the 3rd perch (1.75”). Took a measurement and they were taller than what I’ve seen posted. 14.25” on the driver side and 14” on the passenger side.

Was planning on getting about 2.5” out of it, but ended up at 3” pretty dead on (36.5” from ground to fender). I have 265/70/17 so I have about 1/2” from those.

Very pleased with the ride quality, not harsh as I’ve heard some complain. I use to have an Audi A4 with H&R coil overs and 18” BBS wheels so I’m well aquatinted with stiff/harsh rises and this is no where near that. It’s barely stiffer than the Taco TRD Off Road springs, but the dampening from 5100s is a much needed relief from the float. Can feel small bumps a bit more as the springs aren’t progressive like the Tacos.

Anyway, here are some picks. Install was much easier the 2nd time around, 3 hours taking my time. Added some 1.25” spidertrax and picked up some Trail Edition wheels to replace the corroded SE wheels, going to have those mounted tomorrow.

AC Delco Springs
I just picked up an 04 4Runner with 170k miles. Overall the truck is pretty clean, going through preventative maintenance (checking all bushings/joints/all fluids change, etc) to get it ready for another 100k.

Suspension is TIRED. Kinda bounces around. I am going to do Bilstein 5100 up front set on .85 with FJ front and rear. I don’t have a good source of OEM takeoffs so was looking at AC Delco springs especially for the rears.

I haven’t seen any reviews of the AC Delco parts here. Is there anybody who went this route on the rears? I’m about to bite the bullet and buy new OEM Toyota $$$.

AC Delco is generally a good quality brand.

Got some 07 fj springs finally and paring with blistein 5100 all around. Also because i heard there is a lean, i did get a toyotec 1/4 spacer and 10mm OME for the driver side.

with the shocks being set at 1.75 will this make my ride leveled out?

Front 5100s set to 1.75 with Moog springs front and rear. 4wd FJ Moog in the front and 81045 Moog in the rear (oe replacement for the 4Runner) to pair with the rear 5100s. Added 1.5” daystar spacers in the rear to level it out. Ended up with a one inch rake when measured at the wheel wells. It rides great on the 265 70 17s on 2016 SR5 wheels. It aligned ok.

It rides great! I definitely feel the difference sitting about 3” higher up! I went to get an alignment as soon as I finished up the job. It has stock UCA
