Need shock and spring suggestions,for stock ride height.
I was having clunking noise from the rear and it also felt very loose in the back. Also the drivetrain would make a sudden shift just after stopping, when the auto transmission would drop to idle. This is in a 98 sr5, 4wd.
I had a look at it up on the lift and one of the shocks is broken at the top where it should be connected to the mount.
I have been looking on this site for suspension advice and after a few hours of searching and even using the advanced google search for this site, I have not found much in a comparison for suspension configurations for what I would like.
I did find a Tundra brake upgrade which I would like to do. I hate the stock brakes. This may happen at the same time.
I am looking for suspension opinions/advice for a daily driver, rarely offroad, I would not mind a little stiffer ride to improve handling, but don't want an uncomfortable ride. Less brake dive and less body roll, is desired.
I have seen people post about different spring and shock combos, but I don't know what effect they will have. I would also like to correct the sag the 4runner has. After reading through many posts, my vehicle has this problem too. I would like to be able to load it up or tow something, but most of the time it will be empty in the back. I realized that there have to compromises. I also do not want to have to replace the rear springs in just a few years, so would be willing to go with pickup truck parts if need be.
I have seen that bilsteins are popular, but also saw of pro comp adjustable shocks that looked good too. Please give some advise. I have to get this done soon as it is very loose with bumps and turns. Thank you.
I tried to include as much info to reduce the questions I could foresee.
