3rd gen 4x4 rear suspension

Hello all, I am New here, and hoping to get some insight on STOCK size suspension parts for 2000 4runner 4x4 manual T. I am struggling to find forums or sites pertaining to quality after market or OEM rear control arms. I purchased some new aftermarket STOCK size struts and coils last year, so I am not looking to buy any lift kits... Thank you.

 

Hope you didn't buy struts!

These vehicles use shocks.

As for lower control arms, why do you feel you need to replace them?

You can buy new OEM bushings but if you want to try out some quality aftermarket rear arms, Mevotech offers a good set.

Could make your own as well with some DOM and weld your own mounts/eyelets for your choice of poly bushings using McMaster-Carr parts.

Plus, rear lower control arms aren't in any way affiliated with lifts anyway. A lift is provided by the coil used in the rear.

Rear suspension travel is limited strongly by the length shock used, followed by the brake line (coil will be without tension at this point), followed by your fuel tank making contact with your driveshaft and last but not least, the geometry of your control arms - the upper rear control arms are too short and any real droop would cause binding as the arms would be fully vertical.
