King shock suggestions

I will be building out a new 4Runner trd off-road for over landing and would like to know what kind of suspension I should get! I wanted to get king shocks maybe 2.5 or 3.0 with upper control arms and maybe lower control arms. I will be adding weight with bumpers, tent, racks, etc. probably about an extra 1,500 to 2000 pounds to it and I will be running either 33 inch tires or 35. I would love some suggestions on what I should get!

We sent you a PM.

We have been trying to keep these in-stock, but they ship out as fast as we get them.

We are starting to place stock orders as well for;

Part #25001-278A-EXT-650
Part #25001-279A-EXT

This bundle has been very popular over the few months.

Question on your 4runner 5th gen king set ups. What’s the difference between the stage 1 and 2? Included UCAs? And different coil around the front coil overs? What would you suggest? I have non kdss. I will primary be highway and Boston city roads and will go off rod on trails with no Baja or rock crawling in the near future. Tried to PM but I may have screwed that up.

Our Fulfillment Team created 2 bundles to help make the ordering process a little easier.

Stage 1 Kit is your normal Coilovers and Rear Shocks.
Stage 1A Kit is you normal Coilovers w/Adjusters and Rear Shocks w/Adjusters

Since these are typically build to order, Upgrading to Extending Travel and/or Upgrading Coil
from 550 to 600, 650 or 700lb is at No Extra Cost.

Upgrading the front coil to 600 or 650lb are both great options for 5th Gen at stock weight.

To see these kits - Click Here



There are so many great options for UCA's and Rear Coils that we currently deactivated the
Stage 2 and Stage 3 Kits.

We are working on updating the Stage 2 Kit to better fit the most popular build right now;

Part #25001-278 (Extended Travel, w/650 Upgrade)
Part #25001-279 (Extended Travel)
Part #96504 (Total Chaos UCA's)
Part #52700 (ICON 2" Rear Coil)

This is a great build and option you will be happy with as well.



Remember to use Promo Code "T4R" for added savings on most brands.

We get a lot of calls for the KING Complete Kits that we
have put together for T4R Members.

We have Updated and Activated Stage 2 and Stage 3 Kits - Click Here

Over that last 5-6 months, we have seen 90% of bundles with
Extended Travel, 650lb coils and adjusters.

Popular builds before that were Extended Travel with 600lb coils.

ordering KING Bundles simple, check out these updated kits - Click Here

I tried to search for this information on the forum, but:

Is a long travel LCA not required for extended travel shocks?

And, if not (as seems to be the case), what would be the benefit of running the extended travel shocks over the normal ones from Stage 1?

Total Chaos and Dirt King both make some really nice Long Travel Kits for the 4Runner.

In both cases, Custom Length KING Shocks are available to provide maximum travel.

Extended Travel allows for more down travel, which translates into increased performance and ride comfort on and offroad.

Extended Travel does require Aftermarket Upper Control Arms (UCA's)

Aftermarket UCAs allow you to get your alignment back into spec. With factory UCAs you won't be able to get the caster back in spec. It won't hurt anything, just won't handle as well as it could.

Current production time on Coilovers with adjusters is 4-6 weeks.

Some builds are in-stock and shipping.

When ordering online, just add to notes if you want Extended Travel,

Pardon my ignorance. What is the advantage of extended travel? Is this the same as long travel?

Do you guys have any 4th gen king kits in stock? I sent you a PM yesterday about my suspension upgrade and I look forward to working through you.

For everyone on this thread, I am running stock weight and do not carry anything extra on a regular basis. as I understand from forums that I have read through until my eyes are bleeding, a 600lb coil up front would suffice for stock weight?
my big question is the rear, how to I get a 1-2" lift without getting the rear rake?
Thanks for any help or advice.

current set up: 5100's set at 1.75"
TRD pro wheels
