Radflo 2.5 Front Coilover Kit – Toyota FJ Cruiser / 4Runner – 6" Rough Country Lift | 6CT-001-20
Upgrade the front suspension of your 6-inch lifted Toyota or Lexus with the Radflo 2.5-Inch Front Coilover Kit, part #6CT-001-20, specifically designed for vehicles equipped with a 6-inch Rough Country suspension lift.
This complete front coilover pair combines large 2.5-inch Radflo shock bodies with Eibach coil springs, providing a premium replacement or performance upgrade for the front struts supplied with compatible 6-inch Rough Country suspension systems.
Radflo's 6CT-001-20 coilovers feature an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) design, nitrogen-gas pressurization, velocity-sensitive deflective-disc valving and Radflo's aluminum Freeflo piston for controlled, consistent performance on the street and off-road.
Each Radflo OE replacement shock is built to order and uniquely valved for the vehicle and application, providing a serviceable and tunable alternative to conventional replacement struts.
Sold as a pair – one complete front coilover kit services both sides of the vehicle.

Critical Fitment Note
This is NOT a conventional stock-height or 2-3 inch lift coilover.
Radflo specifically configures 6CT-001-20 for vehicles using a 6-inch Rough Country suspension lift.
A 6-inch Rough Country IFS lift changes the suspension geometry and coilover mounting relationship compared with a conventional suspension lift. The coilover used with this system must therefore be designed around that specific lifted configuration.
Customers with stock suspension or a typical 2-3 inch suspension lift should select the appropriate standard Radflo coilover instead.

Designed for 6-Inch Rough Country Lift Systems
The 6CT-001-20 is a specialized coilover rather than a conventional lifted FJ Cruiser or 4Runner coilover.
It is designed specifically around the suspension configuration created by a 6-inch Rough Country lift.
This makes the Radflo kit particularly useful for owners who already have a Rough Country 6-inch suspension system but want to replace the original front struts with a higher-performance, rebuildable coilover.
Rather than removing the entire 6-inch lift system, the Radflo coilovers allow customers to retain the lift configuration while upgrading the front dampers.
Excellent Replacement for Worn 6-Inch-Lift Front Struts
Front struts supplied with an older 6-inch suspension lift eventually wear just like any other shock absorber.
The Radflo 6CT-001-20 provides a premium replacement solution for customers who want more than a basic replacement strut.
The Radflo upgrade provides:
-
Larger 2.5-inch shock bodies
-
Eibach coil springs
-
Application-specific valving
-
Rebuildable construction
-
Tunable valving
-
Premium internal components
-
Nitrogen-gas pressurization
-
Long-term serviceability
This makes the kit particularly attractive for an older FJ Cruiser, 4Runner or GX470 where the original 6-inch lift remains in place but the front dampers need replacement.
Complete Coilovers with Eibach Springs
The 6CT-001-20 includes Eibach coil springs.
This is an important distinction from replacement shock cartridges or bare front dampers.
Radflo combines its 2.5-inch shock assembly with quality Eibach springs to create a complete front coilover solution for the 6-inch Rough Country application.
Sold as a Pair
Unlike the matching Radflo rear shocks, the 6CT-001-20 front coilover kit is sold as a pair.
One kit includes the front coilovers needed for:
Driver Side + Passenger Side
You do not need to order quantity two to complete the front axle.
2.5-Inch Shock Bodies
Each Radflo front coilover uses a large:
2.5-Inch Diameter Shock Body
The larger shock body provides increased suspension-fluid capacity and improved heat management compared with smaller conventional replacement shocks.
This is particularly useful for lifted SUVs used for:
-
Daily driving
-
Highway driving
-
Rough roads
-
Washboard roads
-
Trail use
-
Overlanding
-
High-speed off-road driving
-
Repeated suspension cycling
Internal Floating Piston Design
The front coilovers use an:
IFP – Internal Floating Piston
The floating piston separates the suspension fluid from the pressurized nitrogen gas.
This design helps minimize aeration and cavitation of the shock fluid during repeated suspension cycling, allowing the damper to maintain more consistent performance as operating conditions become more demanding.
250 PSI Nitrogen Pressurization
Radflo specifies the 6CT-001-20 at:
250 PSI
The nitrogen charge helps maintain positive pressure on the suspension fluid, reducing the potential for cavitation and helping the shock maintain consistent damping during rapid suspension movement.
Velocity-Sensitive Deflective-Disc Valving
Radflo uses:
Velocity-Sensitive Deflective-Disc Valving
The valving responds to the velocity of shock movement, allowing damping characteristics to change based on how quickly the suspension is moving.
This helps provide a balance between:
-
Everyday ride quality
-
Steering control
-
Body control
-
Small-bump compliance
-
Larger suspension impacts
-
Off-road suspension movement
Radflo lists the damping adjustment as self-adjusting.
Radflo Freeflo Piston
Each coilover incorporates Radflo's:
Aluminum Freeflo Piston
The Freeflo piston works with the deflective-disc valving to control the movement of suspension fluid through the shock.
The system is designed to provide predictable damping characteristics across varying road and trail conditions.
High-Temperature Suspension Fluid
Radflo uses its:
High-Temp Foam-Resistant Suspension Fluid
Suspension fluid can become extremely hot during repeated shock cycling. Excessive heat and aeration can reduce damping consistency.
Radflo's high-temperature fluid is designed to resist foaming and maintain more consistent damping as operating temperatures increase.
Premium Internal Construction
Radflo uses high-quality materials throughout the 6CT-001-20.
Shock Body: SSID alloy steel
Body Style: SSID alloy-steel tube
Body Cap/Eyelets: CNC-machined 6061 aluminum
Body Cap Finish: Black anodized
Piston: Radflo aluminum Freeflo piston
Shock Rod: Steel
Rod Finish: Mirror-polished chrome plating
Rod Guide: Machined bronze
Rod Guide Finish: PTFE coating
Seal: Rebuildable combination quad-ring and lip seal
Spring: Eibach
Suspension Fluid: Radflo high-temperature foam-resistant oil
Rebuildable & Serviceable
One of the major advantages of upgrading to Radflo is long-term serviceability.
Radflo lists the 6CT-001-20 as consumer or factory serviceable.
Rather than treating the entire coilover as a disposable component when the seals and fluid eventually wear, the shock can be serviced and rebuilt.
This can be particularly valuable for an FJ Cruiser, 4Runner or GX470 that will remain in service for many years.
Tunable Valving
Radflo also specifies the 6CT-001-20 as:
Consumer or Factory Tunable
This provides the ability to tailor damping characteristics for specialized vehicle configurations.
Custom tuning may be beneficial for vehicles carrying substantial additional front-end weight from equipment such as:
-
Steel front bumpers
-
Winches
-
Skid plates
-
Brush guards
-
Auxiliary lighting
-
Dual-battery systems
-
Other permanent accessories
Built to Order
Radflo states that its OE replacement shocks are:
Custom Built to Order
The shocks are uniquely valved to meet the requirements of the vehicle and application.
Radflo currently lists an average build turnaround of approximately 10 days.
Build time can vary, so customers with a vehicle apart or an upcoming installation should allow sufficient time when ordering.
OE-Location Mounting
Radflo lists the mounting configuration as:
OE Location and Hardware
The 6CT-001-20 is designed to integrate with the suspension arrangement used by the compatible 6-inch Rough Country lift rather than requiring a custom fabricated coilover mount.
Matching Rear Shock Option
For customers replacing the complete suspension on a compatible 6-inch Rough Country lifted FJ Cruiser, 4Runner or GX470, Radflo also offers a matching 2.5-inch rear shock application.
Matching Rear Radflo Shock: 6ST-001-20
The rear 6ST-001-20 uses a 2.5-inch shock body with a remote reservoir and is also specifically configured for the 6-inch Rough Country lift.
NOTE: The rear shocks are sold individually, so quantity 2 is required for a complete rear set.
Pairing the 6CT-001-20 front coilovers with the 6ST-001-20 rear shocks provides a premium Radflo suspension solution for an existing 6-inch Rough Country lift system.
