Frequently carrying 400lbs in the trunk. Want to put a lift on, what to buy?

I have a 03' 4runner 2wd 4.7L V8. I was thinking 5100's, daystar spacers and fj coils. I just don't know what specific parts I should buy. Some guidance would be awesome.

Thanks for the advice in advance!

Oh sorry, mainly what size daystar spacers would be best. 3-2 lift. And should I use fj springs for the rear as well. If so, 2wd v8? I have 192k hard miles on my 4r now so I'll be replacing the springs either way.

If you are frequently carrying 400+ pounds the FJ springs in the back will be kinda soft.

If the 400lbs in back is hinting that you want to stop rear sagging; along with what you've already listed, as that's a good way to go for a mild bit of lift, look into the Airlift 1000 airbags.

Maybe consider running airbags to help with the dead bodies in the cargo area haha

^^how did you post that so fast?!

Old Man Emu 896 rear coils are designed for 330+ lbs I believe, and provide 2" lift above stock in rear. I just sold a pair of these.

I know that the Eibach Springs used in the Overland Warehouse (Radflo) 2.5" Lift Kit will compress roughly an inch with around 400lbs in the back of my 4Runner, so I don't know what those springs in the back are, the fronts are 700lbs.

Yep I'm looking to help with rear sag. Bodies.... Huh .... Just dive gear in here officer ;p

I'm looking into the OME 896 springs right now.

If I want a good ride without the weight would my best bet be airbags?

Thanks again for the quick reply, I'm offshore and my service is a bit spotty

Icon also has a HD 3" rear coil that only sags an inch with 400+ lbs. Or you could go to coilsprings.com and have a set custom made to your specs. But both of these options would require more heavy duty shocks.
