My 05 has suffered the dreaded air bag failure. Sitting all the way down. Converting to springs/shocks. Question is, I have a complete set of new takeoff shocks and springs from a 18 4Runner TRD. Are they a direct replacement or do I need to get a kit. I've seen many suggestions for Moog's that fit 4Runners. Uncompressed the spring is 14.75" and the shocks are 25"if that helps.

Anybody use these?

thanks

 

Ordered SunCore package. Nobody I talked to could be certain the 2018 4runner parts would work. I'll compare the two when the parts arrive from SunCore.

 

regarding the 2018 4runner rear shocks, The bottom eyelet is different for the 150 chassis vs the 120 chassis. I think they are smaller so youll need to drill it larger to fit the bottom shock mount bolt. (not 100% sure if smaller or bigger but thats what ive read.)

Rear springs should be okay and ive used the Moog FJ cruiser (AWD) rear spring with very good feedback (gotta cut 3/4" of the spring to fit the metal tech conversion kit.

 

Not sure I can upload picts but the 4runner lower shocks mount looked the same at SunCore conversion. The TRD shock looked a little beefier, unsure of rates between the two. The TRD spring was about 1/2" shorter than the SunCore replacement spring. Appt Tuesday with my Indy to install. I'll compare ARS parts to the two replacements. Likely CL the TRD parts after the conversion.

 

So all I had was a broken sensor mount. Coincidental that it broke right after brakes were done???? Linkage was frozen and maybe putting it on lift stressed it. 2 mins of welding and all was good. Didn't replace shocks and springs.

 

4th gen 4runner should fit fine but I dont see 5th gen fitting an older gx
