Starting at $429.95, AutoBuffy stocks 1 suspension leveling kits from Rancho for the Toyota 4Runner. A leveling kit raises the front of your Toyota 4Runner to match the factory-raked rear stance, correcting nose-droop, restoring proper headlight aim, and creating clearance for larger tires. Without it, an unlevel stance accelerates uneven tire wear and strains front suspension components.
The right leveling kit depends on how much lift you need, whether you want to retain the factory ride quality, and how much suspension disassembly you're willing to do. Spacer-style kits are the most common and affordable choice, while strut extension and upper control arm kits suit builds that need geometry correction alongside the lift.
| Option | Best for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Coil Spacer / Strut Spacer Kit | Budget-friendly lift with minimal disassembly on coil-spring front suspensions | Billet aluminum or polyurethane spacer that mounts on top of the existing strut or coil, adding 1–2.5 inches of front lift without replacing any major components |
| Strut Extension Kit | Owners who want to preserve OEM strut travel and avoid compressing the factory spring | A bolt-on extension that relocates the strut mount lower in the tower, maintaining spring travel and reducing the ride harshness sometimes associated with basic spacers |
| Torsion Bar Leveling Kit (Key Kit) | Trucks and SUVs with front torsion bar suspension instead of coil springs | Replacement torsion bar keys or adjustment bolts that crank up the front torsion bar for a factory-clean lift of 1–2 inches with no spacers involved |
| Leveling Kit with Upper Control Arms (UCA) | Performance or off-road builds needing corrected caster and camber after a larger lift | A complete front lift solution pairing a spacer or strut extension with revised upper control arms that restore proper alignment geometry, reducing tire wear and improving handling at lift heights above 2 inches |
Installing a leveling kit on the Toyota 4Runner involves removing the front wheels, disconnecting the strut or coil assembly, and placing the spacer or extension before reassembling in reverse order. Torsion bar key kits require unloading the torsion bar before swapping keys. Always have the front alignment checked and set to factory specifications immediately after installation to prevent premature tire wear.
