Introducing the FGP 3rd Gen 4runner OSR kit!
The problem: If you've ever worked on the rear suspension of a 3rd gen 4Runner, you know how frustrating it can be to remove/install the shocks. Unlike newer 4Runners, the 3rd gen’s rear shock mounts are tucked way up inside the frame. This limits the size of the shock you can fit. It also means that the shocks are mounted at an angle, which reduces shock efficiency and performance. Not ideal!
The solution: The FGP OSR moves the shocks to the outside of the frame, where they should've been in the first place. It also comes with lower shock tabs that replace the stock lower mount. This allows for longer shocks, makes installation and removal a breeze, and greatly improves the shock's efficiency and performance! The cherry on top is that you'll save money on your shock purchase since universal smooth body shocks are much cheaper than "factory replacement" shocks.
The FGP OSR improves on other outboard kits in more ways than one. In addition to the higher strength DOM steel, their kit utilizes frame plates to add load-bearing strength at the mounting points and radiused upper mounts to give more weld surface and strength than your typical outboard hoop. This kit was built to outperform the competition, plain and simple.
The FGP OSR is designed to be compatible with 10-12" smooth body shocks.
For 2.0 shocks, a minimum of 3.5” wheel backspacing is recommended for tire clearance. For example, if you have 4.5” BS wheels, you will need 1” spacers to bring it down to 3.5”. 2.5in shocks require a minimum 3" backspace. Results may vary.
DISCLAIMER: 2.5x12" diameter "off-the-shelf" shocks WILL NOT work for this application as they are commonly longer collapsed than an off-the-shelf 2.0" diameter shock. Frame notching will also be required.
What's included:
- Upper shock hoops
- Upper shock mount tabs
- Frame plates & end caps
