Just purchased 2002 4Runner 2 Wheel Drive. 88,000 with new tires and brakes. One owner said only thing he'd do was replace the rear shocks. I took it to Les Schwab and they said everything is solid... including the shocks. A co-worker told me about a rear spring mod that would improve the ride comfort. The current ride is rough and bumpy. Can anyone provide some feedback or recommendations? Is there a mod available? Should I do the shocks and the mod? We're planning a 2000 mile trip and the current rough ride would make for a long trip. Thank you for your time.

Just what are you comparing the ride with??

The 4runners I rode in 2000 4x4 feel like the ride is much to soft.

Has someone already done work to the suspension for a more stiff ride ??

I'm not comparing the ride to anything. The ride for the rear passengers is uncomfortable and I'd simply like to approve the ride. I was asking for advice on whether or not anyone thought new shocks would improve the ride or would it be a waste of money. A co-worker mentioned something about an upgraded rear spring that could/would approve the ride. Thank you for your response.

Just what is causing the rough ride ??

Does your Suspension Bottom out .

Is it to soft so it is always bouncing hard to keep on the road

I have no idea just how Sharp the Techs might be at Les Schwab since I have no idea what they are

You need to figure out what is causing the ride to be bad for the rear passengers

Replace rear passenger.
