If you’re doing much off-road driving in that late model Toyota 4Runner, you’ll likely want to install some better shocks than the ones that came from the factory. The fact is, most people don’t take their 4Runners off-road that often, and the manufacturers build it with that assumption. IF you’re the rare person that actually does take off into the wilderness with this vehicle, you’ll want to install Toyota 4Runner 1996 - 2001 Bilstein Shock Absorbers. Bilstein Shocks are installed in some of the finest sports cars built today; Mercedes, Audi, Porsche and BMW all include them as OEM equipment. Now, shocks that are great for sports cars aren’t necessarily right for off-road driving, and the people at Bilstein take this into consideration. They offer several different types of shocks for different vehicles and set of driving conditions. If you plan to do a lot of off-road driving, the Toyota 4Runner 1996 - 2001 Bilstein Shock Absorber you’ll want is probably the “HD.” It’s a heavier unit that works with your springs, and is self-adjusting for long service life. This Toyota 4Runner 1996 - 2001 Bilstein Shock Absorber has an oversized piston and seamless cylinder for a great balance between comfort and performance.
