TOTAL CHAOS +3.25" Gen II Caddy Long Travel Suspension Kit (1986-95 4Runner/Pickup)

TOTAL CHAOS +3.25" Gen II Caddy Long Travel Suspension Kit

For 1986–1995 Toyota Pickup 4WD & 1986–1995 Toyota 4Runner 2WD / 4WD

Overview

The TOTAL CHAOS +3.25" Gen II Caddy Long Travel Suspension Kit is a high-performance front suspension system for 1986–1995 Toyota Pickup and 4Runner IFS platforms. Extended upper and lower control arms increase front track width by 3.25 inches per side, creating a total 6.5-inch increase while providing substantially more suspension travel than the factory setup.

The system converts the factory torsion-bar front suspension to an 8-inch-travel, 2.5-inch coilover configuration and provides approximately 12 inches of front wheel travel on properly configured 4WD applications. Upgraded uniballs, extended steering components, urethane bushings, braided brake lines, and reinforced control arms create a suspension package designed for serious off-road use.

Choose between Tubular or Boxed lower control arms, then select either the Long Travel Kit Only or the complete package with King 2.5-inch remote-reservoir coilovers and weld-on shock hoops. The same suspension system covers the full 1986–1995 application range, so no year-range variant is required.

Tubular vs. Boxed Lower Control Arms

Tubular LCA

The Tubular LCA configuration uses reinforced tubular/plated lower control arms with internal gusseting and secondary shock tabs. It provides the full +3.25-inch-per-side long-travel geometry while retaining the corresponding lower-joint configuration of the tubular system.

This is a strong choice for customers wanting the complete Gen II Caddy suspension geometry without stepping up to the additional lower uniball conversion included with the Boxed LCA system.

Boxed LCA

The Boxed LCA configuration uses fully boxed and internally gusseted lower control arms with secondary shock tabs for additional shock options.

The Boxed LCA system also includes a lower 1-inch uniball conversion, upgrading both the upper and lower suspension joints to uniball-based components for increased articulation and strength.

Both configurations use the same overall +3.25-inch suspension geometry and are designed around the same long-travel coilover platform.
