I recently installed the Eibach 2R kit after reading the positive reviews, and after driving a month, they have settled to an approx 2”/1” or so lift. I had to adjust the front a bit, and did not install aftermarket UCAs at this time. I had a Bilstein 6112/5160 setup on my last 4 Runner that...

Had KO2s on last 4Runner…worked well for me except for wet roads. Was going to try KO3s, but size wasn’t out yet. Went with the new Falken AT4Ws a few months ago. Seem fine so far, but were difficult to balance…took three trips. Will know better after our trip to SW Colorado (Alpine Loop)...

I didn’t see this for some reason, but I used a hex extension. The most difficult part was getting a dremel tool in there to cut/flatten the remaining stud portion of the stud. Once flattened and center punched, the stud was easy to drill out. I just bought a new 4Runner and went ahead and...

I purchased a set of 315MHZ T6 sensors for my 2023 from Tire Rack and had Discount Tires install in my extra rims with new Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws. I simply followed page 432 in the owners manual to register the new IDs. It took about 30 min of driving before the pressure showed up on the dash...

I’ve decided on the Eibach 2R kit as well after reading the positive reviews that appear to meet my need for a 2”/1” or so lift for easy to mid level trails. I had a Bilstein 6112/5160 setup on my last 4 Runner that worked well (maybe a bit harsh on trails), but still not happy they wouldnt...

Wanted to wait for the BF Goodrich KO3’s (standard size), but since they don’t come out until late 2024, I went ahead with the Falken AT4W SL rated set. I had KO2s on my last 4Runner, but didn’t like in the rain. Although I didn’t purchase the AT4Ws for snow performance (have dedicated...

I’m doing the same, but purchased a set via Tire Rack…installing next week.

I had the Bilstein 6112/5160 on my last 4Runner. They were a fairly decent setup for the easy/midlevel trails I take. However, Bilstein wouldn't replace under their "life time" warranty as they said that was "normal wear n tear." I'm looking at the Eibach Stage 2R setup for my new 4Runner as...

My 2006 Tundra went 125k, and my 2016 Runner hit 110k miles with Fumoto valves…no issues with leaks or ball valve. I always check them at oil change time. They could always be cleaned if you found them caked with mud, but they seem to be sealed well.

I wanted to stay with the 5th gen for now, and sold my 2016 for a 2023 due to miles on the 2016. I was happy with a few electronic upgrades, in addition to a fresh set of miles.

Been using the Fumoto valve on all of my Toyotas for 10+ years…zero issues. Using the Femco on the Mustang as Fumoto doesn’t carry a product for the new Coyotes.

I’ve been happy with my sliders from Hefty FabWorks. They bolted up to the frame easily, can take the weight of the vehicle, and a decent step without sticking out too far.

I went to Ace Hardware for stainless instead….they have a better selection than Lowe’s or Home Depot

Enjoyed mine as well until both 6112s started leaking and Bilstein wouldn’t replace under their “lifetime” warranty…claimed “normal wear and tear.”

I bought mine from Wheelers, but only found them including the coils. The Bilstein “lifetime” warranty appears to be worthless for leaking. Went through the process of sending pics only to be told that was considered normal wear and tear for my miles. “Lifetime” seems to be subjective for...
