If you're looking for one of the best ride quality upgrades for a lifted 3rd gen 4Runner, the FOX Performance Series 2.0 Coilovers are hard to beat.
Designed for aggressive daily driving, overlanding, trail use, and high-speed dirt roads, these FOX 2.0 coilovers dramatically improve front suspension performance on the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. Whether your rig spends weekends crawling through Moab, exploring Utah mountain trails, or commuting during the week, these coilovers give your 4Runner a more planted, controlled, and confidence-inspiring ride.
Unlike cheap spacer lifts that sacrifice suspension geometry and ride quality, these FOX 2.0 IFP coilovers are engineered specifically for Toyota applications and provide true suspension performance gains while allowing 0-2 inches of front lift adjustment depending on setup. The internal floating piston (IFP) design separates oil from nitrogen gas to reduce fade and maintain consistent damping performance during extended off-road use.
FOX built these with a race-proven aluminum shock body that dissipates heat far better than traditional steel shocks. That means more consistent performance when you're loaded down with camping gear, crawling through technical terrain, or bombing down washboard roads for miles.
One of the biggest differences you'll immediately notice is improved front-end control. Body roll is reduced, harsh impacts are softened, and the front suspension feels more responsive and predictable both on and off road.
For 3rd gen 4Runner owners looking to modernize the suspension without jumping into a full long-travel setup, the FOX 2.0 coilovers are one of the best balanced suspension upgrades available.
Important: These are sold individually. You must add quantity 2 for a complete front suspension setup.

Why 3rd Gen 4Runner Owners Choose FOX 2.0 Coilovers

These FOX coilovers help solve:
- Front-end dive during braking
- Poor ride quality with added weight
- Excessive body roll
- Suspension fade on rough trails
- Harsh ride from spacer lifts
- Weak factory damping performance
