help on upgrading suspension on 2001 runner

Model: 2001 4runner 4wd

I am looking to upgrade to the Toyotec 3" lift coilovers or Camburg coilovers for the front already. I am trying to figure out what to get in the back. The other day I had 3 normal size adults in the back seat and the rear shocks bottomed out when we went over bumps so I assume that I need an upgrade. I am looking to do light off roading and sometimes tow a small pop up camper or boat.

On the 4runner now:
Front: stock shocks and springs. Looking at Toytec or Camburg. Any suggestions?

Rear: Rancho RS 5000 and stock springs.

Looking at:
OME 890 or 891's springs with the Bilstein 5100 or 5120s

Adding in the diff drop bolts and longer rear brake lines.

I do not want do have over kill but I also do not want to have to do this the 2nd time around. That is one reason I opted out of getting just the lift risers such as daystar and wanted to go all out with coil overs.


Any information is really appreciated.

Justin.

Do you plan to run under load most of the time? If so, go with the 891's. Otherwise I would go with the 890's. I've had my rig loaded to the brim with stuff and had zero sag.

The 5100 series shocks are great too. I had them on my Tacoma and loved them. I'm running the OME shocks now and I've been thinking of switching them out to the 5100's.
