Why Upgrade Your 3rd Gen 4Runner Lower Control Arms?
The factory lower control arms work well for a stock 4Runner, but larger tires and harder off-road use can expose their limitations. We designed our 3rd Gen 4Runner Lower Control Arms for owners who want more strength, ground clearance, and tire clearance without increasing the factory track width.
Designed for the 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner, these stock-length lower control arms move the lower ball joint forward 1 inch. This provides additional tire clearance while adding approximately 2–3 degrees of positive caster, helping improve alignment geometry on modified 4Runners.
Each control arm is fabricated from 3/16-inch steel using CNC laser-cut and CNC-bent components. Interlocking internal ribs reinforce the fully boxed design before each assembly is MIG welded for strength and durability.
We also designed these LCAs around how 4Runner owners build their vehicles. Factory bump-stop mounting threads are retained, while an integrated strike pad allows for the addition of hydraulic bump stops. Factory-location sway-bar tabs allow you to retain the original sway bar configuration.
These control arms are a great foundation for 33-inch tires. With additional clearance modifications, 35-inch tires can also be used.
Whether you’re building a daily-driven 4Runner, a mid-travel setup, or a capable trail vehicle, these LCAs provide increased strength and clearance while maintaining a stock-width suspension setup.
