TRD Pro Fox Shock Clunk

thanks i really like how the Runner handels now compared to stock shocks,I am on the fence did you do all around or just the front i am thinking to do just the front i am not hard core off-roader and not going with 285 i am happy with 265 for now any info will be helpful thanks

I did Eibach springs front and rear. It made it less softer ride. A little more firmer from stock. Even my wife thought it would ride bad after the new springs. But she thinks it’s rides great. I think it still looks good with the stock size tires. I have pics before I added the 285’s. I don’t off road it’s all for show and looks. But after my 285’s wear out I may be going back to stock size with my SCS wheels because of them being a 8.5 inch wheel it give them a more beefier look than your oem 7 inch wheels.

can you please tell me your measurements from center wheel to bottom of fender front and rear thanks is it a 1' lift all the way around

I have the 1.6 in the front and rear inch. Eibach is pretty much on what they say you would get. So that puts your Pro higher than factory. Hope this helps.
 
2020 Pro Clunk

I only had the sound in the front and it started when I bought it in September at 5mi. I currently have 1,920mi now. Not been off-road yet and garaged. Sound was fairly consistent in all temps up to 50 degrees or so, but got worse the colder it got. I just had the TSB completed Friday. Sound was gone for my 3mi drive home. It’s been hovering around 0 in Denver the last several days and the sound has returned. Now I have it in the rear, but not as loud as the front. I’m going to chalk it up to the fact that not everything works well in the frigid cold. I’ll see if the noise is there once we hit the 50’s next week.
 
Im clunky too

I finally found this thread, almost too late.

2020 Pro. Had her for a year now and just over 25k miles.

I have been fighting same issues for the last two months...

1st dealer visit says they cannot replicate.

2nd visit they say its the hood latch and body mounts....tighten latch and warranty body mounts.

3rd visit...they tell me its my skids and sliders.

all through this process i tell them that it is int he suspension and they hear it, but they cannot figure it out.

So after i get it back after number three, I remove FULL RCI skid package, C4 Sliders and say, "here you go"....so finally after 4 tries they tell me its the front fox shock. They did not tell me anything about a TSB (this all just happened wed of this last week). I do recall the service agent saying they are replacing one side, but when I picked up a loaner vehicle yesterday, the service manager said they were replacing both.

Thanks to you all and this thread I am going to make sure they do both. At least they gave me sr5 4wd for a loaner.

That brings me to this.....I was going to do the EIbach springs.....Am I reading correctly that they will not work on the NEW fox shocks????

Thanks

I need to know this as well, as I have been waiting to install them. Obviously I would like to figure that out prior to install.

Did a little more digging....the Eibach set says you have to have flat ground spring ends.... look at the two center springs
PRO-LIFT-KIT Springs (Front & Rear Springs)

compare to the Westcott designs kit specifically notes the perch is different for the 2021...look at spring in those pics.

Finally got my front shocks replaced today. Toyota sent the 19/20 shocks the first time I went in for the replacement so they had to reorder. Took two weeks for the correct 2021s to come in. They only had my 4Runner a few hours. So far so good. I drove from the dealership to work this afternoon and there was no noise. The pavement in my work parking lot is pretty bad so my 4Runner usually sounds horrible when I pull in or out of there. It’s sunny and relatively warm this afternoon however. The real test will be tonight at 11, after it’s been sitting all night and temps are in the 20’s. Usually, when I leave work it sounds like I’m riding a horse down a cobblestone street. Drove me nuts.

I know some people had the issue from the start but I didn’t. Bought mine in August of 2019 and didn’t notice anything last winter. Drove it up and down the beaches for two summers and never heard a sound, but of course, it was warm then. Just started at the beginning of this winter and got progressively worse.

Looks good. Did you go C or P load? How much trimming to fit?

Went P load, no trimming but I did get a BMC and SPC uppers. Moved liner in a tad as well. All that was overkill and gave me a boat load of room

Aaron.....for clarity...did you do the Eibachs on the original FOX shock or on the replacement Fox shocks?
I did it with the original fox shocks, the eibachs won't fit on the replacement or 21s yet. Not that cold where I live and haven't had any clunking
