Protect and strengthen your front suspension with the Freel Good Performance KD “Killdozer” Crossmember Reinforcement, designed specifically for the 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner (3rd Gen). Built to withstand the demands of aggressive off-roading, this reinforcement kit helps prevent front crossmember cracking while adding gusseted support to the front control arm mounts.
Heavy wheeling, rocky trails, and demanding terrain can place significant stress on the factory crossmember and suspension mounting points. The KD Crossmember Reinforcement addresses these common weak points with heavy-duty 3/16” mild steel reinforcement plates and control arm gussets, helping reduce the risk of structural damage and costly repairs.
Designed for straightforward installation, the gussets can be temporarily bolted into position using M8 hardware for proper alignment before welding. The precision-fit design simplifies installation while providing additional strength where your 3rd Gen 4Runner needs it most.
