    C315AF76-78B2-404F-9AE4-2CDA88B387DC.jpg Hey guys, this is my first post on here so please forgive if it’s in the wrong area or structured incorrectly. I’ve got a 2007 4Runner Sport with 4WD and I’m looking to replace the XRAS stock suspension. From the research I’ve done it seems like the Bilstein 5100’s are the best all around option for the price. (I could be completely wrong about that though I’m not sure) All in all I was curious what y’all run on your 4Runners and what you would recommend. I’m trying not to spend over $2,000 if I don’t have to as I only do light off-roading and spend more time as a daily driver or for cross country trips. Looking for something that’ll be a good all around option. Also the final question would be what would a reputable provider be for all parts required? I’ve called several places and gotten quotes from $1,000-$2,500 just asking for parts and install for the 5100. Found a local shop that said I could buy the parts myself and bring them in so that’s what I’m currently looking to do if anyone just has a link for that.

    Thank you so much, Cameron.
    Oh also one last thing, I’m not sure if it matters but I currently have a leveling kit on the front of my 4Runner and I’m happy with how it looks. Not trying to go for any crazy lift or anything like that.

    Welcome from Wisconsin! Lots of suspension to pick from. Whatever you feel comfortable spending on the shocks/lift. We've had Bilstein on our Tacoma, and liked them. I would love to put ToyTec or Elka on the 4Runner, believe they are the same shock, but kind of expensive.
