Are these over kill for a 4x2 2007 4Runner? Concerned they will stiffen the ride too much.

I'm very happy with mine. A friend was impressed with the nice ride, he has a major lift on his Tacoma but is way stiffer then mine. I put them on a 2014 Tacoma, have them on the 3rd setting for about a 2" lift. They use your stock coil springs, but you can also get different coils too. These are a much better way to get a lift then spacers, check out this info: http://www.bilsteinus.com/fileadmin/user_upload/user_upload_us/pdfs/Bil_LevShks_WebArticle_01.pdf

I bought the Bilstein shocks for my 2008 Toyota FJ. The first thing I noticed right out of the box is how well they are made and use much heavier components than regular shocks. They do provide a slightly stiffer ride, but that may be due to the fact that the replaced shocks have lost their stiffness. To me the biggest advantage is the ability to level the vehicle by raising the front to equal the back height. The FJ handles much better, In my opinion, not overkill, just paying more for a high quality product.

They are stiffer than stock. I have an 09 tacoma double cab 4x4 with bfgoodrichs kos.

They will stiffen a bit, but my original were too soft, but I got the bilstein for lift in front of truck, didn't really seek out the most comfortable.

Yes, but you will be losing those two inches in the drop if the shock. But that is the same thing for any shock you have on there with that much of alift. The best thing to do would be to relocate the anchor point for the install to get the full articulation of the shock. Other wise they will still work great, just a stiffer to a already stiff ride.

Yes, although for long term use, I might out a 2x4 on either side. You sure can drive over them a few times. Quite pleased with these

Sort of...they bolt up and fit, but anytime I turn hard left it bumps the steering column and makes a rather loud knocking sound. It doesn't inhibit performance, but you would think the fit would be better. I plan to go with polyurethane motor mounts to alleviate the problem. When I contacted Pacesetter, they didn't help out at all. You would think that a bolt on performance part wouldn't need any chassis modification. For the price they are well worth it and made the exhaust sound AMAZING. If I did it again though, I would save up for the Kooks. If you have to settle with these due to budget constraints, make sure you get the coated headers.

Yes but death wobble will occur. Actually lifted closer to 6 inches cause they are so stiff.

check with air lift. they will know. I installed them on my 1999 dodge ram 2500 Iiwas pulling a 37 ft fifth wheel and it was like riding on a cloud.

Since I have a 2007 4Runner, in which they did fit fine, I can not answer that question.

Absolutely, they will right them selves when you throttle up. You want them loose, they brake far less because the are free floating to some degree. If your going to crash throttle all the down quick just another trick from experience.

I have a Stampede 4x4 VXL, don't get these, get four of the 1170-12's instead. The Offset is a bit too narrow with these on the Back, and the 1170-12's on the front.

Hello,They will bolt right on for you. The offset is pretty high, so they will suck under the vehicle pretty similar to stock rims.Thanks,-Jon

Yes. They are not as robust as earlier models, but neither are the roof racks, so watch that you don't overload.

Hello,No, they are the incorrect bolt pattern. You would want 5x4.75.Thanks,-Jon

Yes, you can use them with no problem. A lot of guys on the 4Runner forum do the same thing.

I used a set of 4! I had the 1 3/4" in front and the 3/4" in the rear. This made it level. Now what i found out was that if you are using a stock suspension and this set up...and you weigh down your Jeep with gear....your back is gonna ride really low!!! So i would go with the 1 3/4" spacers all the way around and keep the rear a bit higher. This will compensate for your gear and stuff. Hope this helps!

I put them on my 2012 because when loaded with my tools I had about a 4" squat in the truck.I was hoping to get it all out but only got about 2" back. The truck does handle like its not loaded tho, so that helps.

The Bushing are rock hard. I recommend buying medium bushings for these trucks.

I've had a pair of these on my fulltime 4x4 for about 4 months with no problems. Not a mud truck.
