About this part
N3 Leveling Struts, fitment-checked
These N3 struts are a targeted part: they fit 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runners (4WD and RWD, Base, SR5, and Limited) that are already running 2 inches of lift. They are not a spacer companion; a spacer already in place has to be removed. The coil ships pre-loaded, so no strut disassembly is required. 3 Year Limited Warranty.
Read the lift requirement first: Rough Country builds 501153 for 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runners that already sit on 2 inches of lift, in both 4WD and RWD, across Base, SR5, and Limited. On the right rig the swap is straightforward. The coil arrives already on the strut, so nothing has to come apart on the bench, and most owners finish inside 2-3 hours. If the 4Runner still carries a strut spacer, plan to pull it, since these are not meant to run in series with one. A downloadable installation guide is available.
