Bilstein 47-310872 B8 6112 Front Coilover Kit for 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner 4WD

Vehicle Fitment

• 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner (Base, SR5, Limited - 4WD and 2WD; 2.7L I4, 3.4L V6)

Fitment Notes

• Fits both 4WD and 2WD configurations. Lift range varies by drivetrain: 4WD provides 0-2.3" of front lift; 2WD provides 1-2.9" of front lift.
• A differential drop kit is recommended for 4WD trucks when running 1.5" or more of front lift to reduce stress on CV axle joints.
• This is a front-only kit. OEM top mount and spring isolators are reused - not included.
• Coil springs and shocks are not pre-assembled - a coil spring compressor is required for installation.
• Rear shocks are sold separately and do not provide rear lift on their own; supplemental rear lift springs are required for rear height gain.
• Does not fit 3rd-generation 4Runner (2003+), Tacoma, or Tundra.

Features

• Large 60mm monotube shock body provides superior oil capacity, heat dissipation, and long-term durability compared to standard 46mm shocks.
• 60mm digressive piston with vehicle-specific tuning delivers improved ride comfort on-road and precise, controlled damping over rough off-road terrain.
• Multiple snap-ring grooves on the shock body allow adjustable spring seat positioning for 0-2.3" (4WD) or 1-2.9" (2WD) of front lift without additional hardware.
• Custom cold-wound linear coil springs (600 lb rate) engineered to match the 4Runner's front suspension geometry and axle loads.
• Billet hard-anodized aluminum spring seats included for precision height adjustment and durability.
• Direct bolt-on design - no modification required; reuses OEM top mount and spring isolators.
• Made in the USA. Backed by Bilstein's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Product Description

The Bilstein 47-310872 is a B8 6112 front coilover kit engineered specifically for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner in both 4WD and 2WD configurations. The kit pairs two 60mm monotube shock absorbers with custom cold-wound coil springs and billet aluminum spring seats, delivering a direct bolt-on upgrade that dramatically improves front suspension performance over the OEM setup. The large 60mm body provides greater oil capacity and heat management than standard shocks, while digressive valving with vehicle-specific tuning delivers a compliant on-road ride alongside confident, controlled damping on the trail.

The snap-ring grooved shock body allows the aluminum spring seat to be repositioned into multiple height settings, providing 0-2.3" of adjustable front lift for 4WD models and 1-2.9" for 2WD models - all without modifications or spacers. The kit reuses the OEM top mount and spring isolators for a clean, factory-quality installation. Note that a coil spring compressor is required for assembly, and a differential drop kit is recommended for 4WD owners running 1.5" or more. Made in the USA and backed by Bilstein's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
