A complete front and rear suspension kit for the 4th Gen 4Runner, early FJ Cruiser, and GX470; pairing Bilstein 5100 monotube shocks with Old Man Emu lift coils. Because the OME coils provide the lift, the 5100's cir-clip stays in the bottom perch position, preserving full up-travel and down-travel up front.
Shocks — Bilstein 5100 Series
- 46mm digressive piston with self-adjusting deflective disc valving; nitrogen-charged monotube design resists fade on washboard and long descents.
- Snap-ring grooved front strut bodies (part #24-324359 or #F4-BE5-C477-T1 depending on inventory); matching 5100 rear shocks
- Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance; backed by Bilstein's Limited Lifetime Warranty
Coils — ARB Old Man Emu (choose by build weight)
- Front: 1.5" leveling coil, or 2.5" coils rated for stock weight vs. added armor/winch weight
- Rear: 2" – 2.5" options for stock weight or ~300 lbs of added gear (bumpers, drawers, RTT)
- Micro-alloyed spring steel, double scragged and shot-peened, black powder-coat finish
Assembly & Install
- Optional professional strut assembly: front struts arrive assembled and torqued to spec — no spring compressor needed. Unassembled kits reuse your stock top hats and stem bushings.
- Install time: ~5 hours with hand tools; ~6 with upper control arms
- At 2.5" of lift, we recommend aftermarket UCAs (SPC, OME, Dobinsons, ICON, Total Chaos) to restore caster, plus an alignment after install

Available Add-Ons
- Professional strut assembly: Front struts arrive assembled and torqued to spec. No spring compressor, no reusing top hats, no shop labor bill. The most popular box to check.
-
Upper control arms: At 2.5" of lift, stock UCAs run out of alignment adjustment and limit droop travel. Aftermarket arms restore ~3° of caster for straight-line stability and unlock the travel this kit is built for. Options from budget to race-grade:
- SPC Adjustable: The most cost-effective fix for caster and travel
- Old Man Emu: Matched to your coils; +2.5–3.5° caster at this lift height
- Dobinsons: 3° caster built in, sealed Japanese ball joints, zero adjustment needed
- Total Chaos Uniball: Fully rebuildable, adds ~1" of droop travel
- Differential drop kit: Corrects CV axle angles after lifting, reducing boot wear and vibration. Cheap insurance on any IFS lift over 2".
- Extended brake lines: Factory lines run near their limit at full droop with added travel; extended lines keep slack through full articulation.
- DuroBumps: Progressive bump stops that soften bottom-outs and protect your new shocks when the trail gets fast.
