Elka 2.5 IFP Front Shocks | 2-3" Lift | 1996-2002 4Runner

Massive Damping Power & Everyday Comfort

Maximize your 4Runner's off-road capabilities without sacrificing everyday ride quality. This premium 2.4 Internal Floating Piston (IFP) front and rear shock kit delivers a massive upgrade in oil capacity, thermal efficiency, and trail control over standard shocks-all in a clean, self-contained package. Whether you are daily commuting, loaded down with overland gear, or hitting the trails, this complete kit provides a smooth, predictable, and incredibly stable driving experience.

The 2.5 IFP Advantage

• Internal Floating Piston (IFP): Separates the high-pressure nitrogen gas from the shock oil, completely preventing oil aeration and performance fade during extended trail use.
• Desert & Fire Roads: Delivers firm, stable, and responsive handling with a performance feel.
• Washboard & Sharp Impacts: Provides plush compliance to smooth out harsh trail chatter and hard, square-edge bumps. 
• Big Dips & Washes: Engineered with a strong progressive internal ramping effect for reliable front and rear bottom-out protection.
• Technical Off-Roading: Supplies maximum suspension articulation and superior traction for rock crawling.

Key Benefits & Ride Enhancements

• Reduced Noise & Vibration: Drastically dampens axle and road feedback, significantly reducing cabin squeaks, rattles, and interior vibrations.
• Flawless Chassis Stability: Eliminates front-end nose diving during hard braking and minimizes rear-end bucking or lifting over rough terrain or speed bumps.
• Heavy-Duty Load Support: Features optimized damping and spring characteristics to perfectly handle heavy steel bumpers, winches, tire carriers, or towing.
• Leveling & Balance: Restores proper frontend ride height and improves overall weight distribution for a perfectly balanced stance.

Technical Features

• Massive 2.5-Inch Shock Bodies: Heavy-duty, 2.5-inch (56mm) hard-anodized aluminum bodies offer maximum strength and cooler operation under continuous cycling.
• Fade-Free Design: Gas-pressurized architecture with an internal floating piston prevents cavitation and performance drop-off on the trail.
• Precision Construction: Built with premium CNC-machined forged aluminum components and heavy-duty, 3/4-inch (19mm) induction-hardened shafts.
• Triple-Seal Protection: High-pressure step-seal, premium O-rings, and an integrated dust wiper ensure maximum longevity in harsh off-road environments.
• All Weather Fluid: Utilizes a proprietary, ultra-low friction semi-synthetic oil blend that resists extreme operating temperatures.
• Direct Fit & Serviceable: 100% bolt-on replacement using factory front and rear mounting locations. The fully rebuildable architecture allows for affordable maintenance, premium alloy replacement springs, and custom re-valving options.
