    Welcome to the forum from Wisconsin! Does it pull to left or right when driving? Have you inspected the tires? Do you have mechanical ability/understanding? The last one is so you would be able to tell if something is wrong when you visually inspect underneath. If you can't visually find a problem, I guess you take it to a shop or dealership, explain what happened, and proceed from there. At least you'll have peace of the mind!

    All of these things you have said come to mind headed to Toyota in a few hours to get it inspected. Looked underneath the carriage everything looks fine, tires look fine.. Just want to make sure the springs, shocks, struts and under carriage took no damage. Thank you for the welcome I’m from California. Super excited to be a 4Runner can’t wait to build this thing out

    Thanks for the welcome excited to be part of this 4Runner family forum. Quick question. Would swapping out my suspension with the trd pro suspension fix the issue if there are any issues? As much as I care about the truck riding smooth and feeling the road, I know in the end these are trucks, and the stiffness is a given. going for diagnosis in an hour. I know these things are tanks. But still want to enjoy it responsibly, and reasonably. Any more advise guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the forum. There are lots of different suspensions out there. Do a search and figure out what is best for you and what you plan on doing with the 4Runner. Hope they find out what is wrong and don't charge you too much.

    Welcome from Arizona! That is the most creative excuse I have heard for needing to upgrade your suspension:hattip::cheers:

    Just came back from Toyota and they did not charge me anything and the suspension under carriage, tires are good. Thank Goodness, truck is driving better as well. Lol I want to start building everything out but I will research more and use the factory stocks for now. Until further insight, thanks for the support guys looking forward to discussing runners with you all. Everything is ok !! Phew
