Best Shock absorbers for Toyota 4runner
I went the 5160/6112 route and love them. Coming from stock suspension for the first 50k it was amazing offroad but really helped with the on-road nosedive and with upgrade springs in the rear helped tremendously with the sag from my rtt trailer.
Pros: amazing offroad, helped nosedive

Fox 2.5" internal bypass shock and springs off a 2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro.
Adds about 1" in height. Rides a bit firmer that stock shocks on paved roads and performs great off-road.
Pros: performs great off-road
Cons: firmer on paved roads
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 5000 km
I put 5100’s on my ‘18 4Runner and it was a massive improvement firming up the horrible body roll from the factory.
Pros: massive improvement, firming body
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 500 km
I switched out to some medium Old Man Emus on my 2014 Limited after the stock XREAS system started leaking at 120k. Rides great and the slight lift allows me to get onto some steeper trails without worrying about pulling my front bumper off.
Pros: rides great, slight lift

I replaced my Limited’s stock suspension with Bilstein 5100’s at 65k myself...the truck rides great on and off road now, literally no downsides.
Pros: rides great on/off road
Cons: PITA XREAS lines
Vehicle:

Mileage: 65000 km
My Truck feels almost as cushy as my dad's 22 TRD Pro. I can hit speed bumps at easily 10mph faster without discomfort, it rides great on forest service roads and has less body roll than stock.
Pros: cushy, rides great
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Do not go OEM. At a minimum, put on Bilstein 5100 shocks at stock height and improve ride and lessen nose dive on braking. I got a set of 4 last year for my son's 1999 3rd gen and paid $300 for install $400 for parts. We used the stock 99 tall springs. I put 5100 shocks on my 2011 and lifted the front 2" and put trd springs on the back to level. Way better off road and firmer on road.
Pros: improve ride, lessen nose dive
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
If you have the $, Bilstein 5100s run fantastic on Toyota pickup and 4wd/4runners. They are a little pricey but you'll feel the difference.
Pros: fantastic performance, feel the difference
Cons: a little pricey
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
I had Old Man Emu shocks and springs put in my 07 sport. The XREAS was sagging severely to the left and was leaking fluid.
Cons: XREAS sagging, leaking fluid
