Overview
The Fox Racing Shox 2.5 Factory Series reservoir shock, part number 883-06-130, is a front coilover replacement for the 2003–2018 Toyota 4Runner and 2007–2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. A reservoir design moves the gas and fluid reserve into a separate canister, and this Fox unit is a direct replacement shock.
The listed measurements are 22.38 in. extended, 17.09 in. collapsed and 5.29 in. of stroke. The unit is adjustable and carries a listed lift range of 0 to 3 in., which is the figure to check against your current height.
Key features
- Direct replacement design for the front position
- Coilover reservoir construction
- Adjustable shock design
- Listed lift range of 0 to 3 in.
Reservoir clearance at full travel
The reservoir on a coilover is the part most likely to be affected by a new install, because it sits away from the body and can move into the frame or wheel area at full compression or full extension. Checking clearance with the truck on the ground and again at full travel helps find problems before they cause damage. Route the hose so it does not rub against brake lines or the exhaust.
Front shocks on a 4Runner or FJ Cruiser carry the weight of the engine and steering components, so a worn unit can change how the truck tracks on pavement and dirt. Adjustable damping can help match the shock to the terrain, but any change should be made gradually. A shop that works on suspension can complete the job and recheck clearance afterward.
- Check clearance at full compression and full extension
- Inspect the reservoir hose for rub marks
- Re-torque mounting bolts after the first drives

Installation notes
The direct replacement design reuses the factory mounts, but the reservoir must clear the frame and body at both full extension and full compression. Check that clearance before driving, and have a shop that works on suspension complete the installation.
