About this part

Loaded Strut Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 501013 is a loaded strut pair for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner in 4WD and RWD form, sold with the coil already assembled onto the strut so no strut disassembly is needed. It fits only vehicles already running 3 inches of lift, and it cannot be paired with a strut spacer.

This loaded strut pair for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner 4WD and RWD covers Base, SR5, and Limited applications listed in the fitment section, and it is intended solely for trucks set up with 3 inches of lift. Each unit ships pre-loaded with its coil for a bolt-on swap, with nitrogen charging, a 1 3/8in bore, and application-specific velocity-sensitive valving handling the damping. Confirm your current lift setup and rule out a strut spacer before ordering, then use the downloadable Rough Country installation guide to walk through the job.
