In the suspension FAQ you will find tons of people posted. Did you review that thread?

Can you post some pics? I'm not exactly sure how to view pics on your profile if you have any? Just trying to see if it's a visible improvement that's really worth doing as I won't be doing any off roading.

At the .85 setting mine would have set level. I went ahead and did rear Daystar spacers, so I went with 1.75 setting to prevent having as much rake.

The problem I have with the stock coils is the ride quality. It's pretty nice on the road, but it's too soft for doing any work and/or offroad trails. If you plan to put your 4Runner to work somehow, I strongly recommend new coils with a higher spring rate. If you're just going to Walmart and the soccer field, then stock is great.

I did exactly what Wx did, and he is right. If you plan on using it off road, change the front and rear coils. I have stock coils front and rear just as he with the daystars in the rears. I cant wait to get rid of the way too soft front and rear coils. It does ride like a dream. But at freeway speeds and greater, they have a ton of body sway and roll.
