2.5 RESERVOIR FRONT SHOCKS for TOYOTA 4RUNNER, 1996 to 2002 (0 in. to 3 in. lift)

The 2.5 RESERVOIR model features an external reservoir with increased oil volume for cooler operating temperature, providing better performance and consistency. These shocks are a good performance upgrade over OEM shocks.

Ride height is preset from our factory at approximately 1.5-2.5 in. of lift at the front depending on your suspension geometry, actual ride height may vary depending on wheels dimensions and lift kit or upper control arms used.

Package includes two (2) side-specific front shocks

**All Elka Suspension components are made to order. Please contact us for current lead times. We will contact you at time of order to learn about the specifics on your build so the suspension is properly tuned to your vehicle.
