About ARB
ARB has produced Old Man Emu suspension systems since the 1970s, engineering coil springs and shock absorbers specifically for four wheel drive vehicles carrying touring and off-road equipment. The 4001 front spring set continues that heritage with a direct-fit design for the Toyota 4Runner platform.
FAQ
What is the ARB4001?The ARB4001 is a front coil spring set from ARB Old Man Emu designed for the Toyota 4Runner to restore or increase front ride height. It's built from X5K micro-alloyed spring steel and supports the added weight of off-road accessories.
How much lift will this actually give me?It provides approximately 1 to 2 inches of front lift depending on how much extra weight your truck is carrying.
Do I need new shocks to go with these springs?These springs work with your factory struts or ARB Nitrocharger struts sold separately, so new shocks aren't strictly required.
Will these hold up if I have a winch and bumper installed?Yes, the spring rate is matched to support the added weight of winches, bumpers, and skid plates on the 4Runner.
Can I install just one spring, or do they come as a pair?They're sold as a complete front pair so ride height stays even side to side.
Do these springs come with a Prop 65 warning?No, the ARB4001 doesn't carry a California Prop 65 warning.
Is this something I can install in my driveway?It's doable with a spring compressor and standard hand tools, though it does require removing and disassembling the strut assembly.
Will I need an alignment after installing these springs?Yes, since ride height and suspension geometry change, a wheel alignment afterward is recommended.
Install Instructions
- Raise the front of the vehicle and support it on jack stands.
- Remove the front wheels and disconnect the sway bar links.
- Compress and remove the factory front strut assembly.
- Remove the factory coil spring from the strut assembly.
- Install the ARB4001 spring onto the strut using a spring compressor.
- Reinstall the strut assembly, sway bar links, and wheels, then torque to factory specification.
Coilover Springs
Coilover springs are the replaceable compression springs that wrap around the shock body in a coilover assembly, determining ride height, spring rate, and the balance between comfort and handling stiffness. Swapping springs is the most direct way to tune a coilover setup for a new application without buying an entirely new system.Popular UpgradesLinear-rate springs in the 6 to 12 kg/mm range are the most popular choice for street performance and track day builds where predictable handling is more important than maximum compliance. Progressive-rate springs that soften on small bumps and stiffen under load are preferred for street cars that need to be both comfortable on rough roads and controlled in hard cornering. ID60 and ID65 springs are the most common inner diameter specifications across popular coilover platforms.What is the difference between linear and progressive coilover springs?A linear spring has a constant rate from full droop to full compression, providing consistent an...
