2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner Bump Stops

Suspension travel is a good thing right up until the moment metal contacts metal, and on a fourth-gen with any lift that moment comes sooner than stock geometry was designed for. 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner Bump Stops absorb the energy at full compression so the frame and suspension arms don't have to learn that lesson the hard way.

 

Hydraulic bump stops are the upgrade worth considering on a fourth-gen that sees regular off-road use, since they compress progressively under load rather than making sudden contact the way foam or rubber units do. Stack height should be sized to the specific lift amount since too tall a bump stop limits travel before the suspension is ready to stop, and too short leaves the contact point unprotected.

 

The suspension conversation on the fourth-gen 4Runner doesn't end at full droop — that's actually where 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner Bump Stops become the most important part of the equation. Control arm options that define how the suspension moves through that travel are at 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner Control Arms & Accessories, sway bar and link options are at 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner Sway Bars, Links & Disconnects, and the full suspension and bushing category for this generation is at 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner Suspension & Bushings.
