Description
Mid-Travel Suspension for the 3rd Gen 4Runner
The Solo Motorsports Mid-Travel Suspension Kit is designed for 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner owners who want more front suspension performance without moving to a full long-travel system. It improves suspension travel and off-road performance while maintaining the factory track width.
The factory upper control arms can limit suspension travel as the 4Runner is lifted. Therefore, our tubular upper control arms replace the factory upper ball joint with an FK 1″ uniball. The uniball provides more articulation and strength for off-road use.
Additionally, CNC-machined slug adapters press into the factory spindle. These adapters allow our 1″ uniball upper control arms to work with the factory spindle configuration.
More Travel Without the Extra Width
Depending on shock selection and vehicle setup, the Mid-Travel Suspension Kit adds approximately 1″ of front suspension travel and provides 1–3″ of front lift.
Because the suspension retains the factory track width, fiberglass fenders are not required. We recommend a 33″ tire for most setups.
The kit also gives you several shock options. Choose from King OEM Replacement Coilovers, Fox Factory Series Coilovers with DSC Adjusters, or Bilstein 6112 struts with new top hats.
For harder off-road use, we recommend adding our Upper Control Arm Double-Shear Kit. Overall, this kit gives your 3rd Gen 4Runner a stronger and more capable front suspension without the width or fabrication required by long travel.
Made in the USA.

Recommended Upgrades
For harder off-road use, we highly recommend the Solo Motorsports Upper Control Arm Double-Shear Kit. It helps reinforce the factory upper control arm mounting location during aggressive driving.
The 1996–2002 4Runner Stock Length Lower Control Arms are another good upgrade. They maintain factory track width while moving the lower ball joint forward 1″. This provides additional tire clearance and approximately 2–3° of positive caster.
With additional clearance modifications, the LCA setup can also accommodate 35″ tires.
