3rd gen 4runner long travel kit

Description

This Off-road System will provide 13″ Of travel and widens the trucks front stance 3.5″ per side. Fiberglass fenders are a must. The Boxed lower Arms pivot on massive 1″ uni-balls instead of cheap bushings. The upper arm replaces the ball-joint with a 1″ uniball and uses a heat-treated stainless steel adapter on the spindle.  This very kit has been raced on in Baja with great results.

Fiberglass front fenders need to be installed in conjunction with this suspension system. While this kit is able to be 95% bolt-on, we recommend having it installed by a reputable off-road shop familiar with these types of products and components. This is not for your beginner mechanic to handle.

If your 4-Runner has manual locking front hubs, you will need to have custom axle shafts made. We can refer you to a few companies. The complete axles we use are for auto locking hubs only.

Description

The Solo Motorsports Long Travel Kit for the 96-04 Toyota Tacoma and 96-02 4Runner will achieve 14″ of fully-functional 2WD/4WD wheel travel. Combine this 14″ long-travel kit with our Full Fabricated Spindles, 1″ Lower Uniball Conversion with Heim Steering upgrades and your Tacoma or 4Runner’s strength and durability is greatly improved.

We took it a step above our competitors and made ¾” heims standard on the UCAs included in this kit! This will help to align your truck, even if you have a worn and fatigued frame.

This kit is available with Tubular UCAs.

Our Toyota W-I-Y UCA Double Shears are not included but highly recommended in order to keep the cross shaft bolt from bending during hard driving.
