fj/cruiser 80 series coils??

Hi everyone.
New here....just got a 95 4WD 4runner and love it. I am looking at doing the coil swap with some fj coils but want to make sure I get the right ones. I am not looking for a serious lift just level the rear out (join the club, right?). When i search the salvage yards for 1997 land cruiser coils i get this as my options:


Front, 4x4, 4 cyl, 15" wheel Right
Front, 4x4, 4 cyl, 15" wheel Left
Front, 4x4, 6 cyl, MT, 15" wheel Right
Front, 4x4, 6 cyl, MT, 15" wheel Left
Front, 4x4, 6 cyl, MT, 16" wheel Right
Front, 4x4, 6 cyl, MT, 16" wheel Left
Front, 4x4, 6 cyl, AT, 15" wheel Right
Front, 4x4, 6 cyl, AT, 15" wheel Left
Front, 4x4, 6 cyl, AT, 16" wheel Right
Front, 4x4, 6 cyl, AT, 16" wheel Left
Front, 4x4, 4 cyl, 16" wheel Right
Front, 4x4, 4 cyl, 16" wheel Left
Rear, 4x4, 15" wheel
Rear, 4x4, 16" wheel
Rear, 4x2
Front, 4x2, 4 cyl, 15" wheel Right
Front, 4x2, 4 cyl, 15" wheel Left
Front, 4x2, 6 cyl, 15" wheel Right
Front, 4x2, 6 cyl, 15" wheel Left
Front, 4x2, 4 cyl, 16" wheel Right
Front, 4x2, 4 cyl, 16" wheel Left
Front, 4x2, 6 cyl, 16" wheel Right
Front, 4x2, 6 cyl, 16" wheel Left

Searching earlier years like 95 yields similar results. So does anyone know exactly what length i am looking for here. I know i need rear coils but it seems that I amy have to get two lefts or two rights as they are different lengths? advice appreciated.

I will try to post pics of my truck tomorrow as a more formal introduction.
Thanks

The passenger side coils are usually a bit longer than the drivers side. Most say it's because of the gas tank being on the passenger side.

If you're only looking for a "level" lift and nothing serious, I'd stay away from those coils. They're going to give you about 4" of lift, throw your axle to the passenger side(panhard drop bracket will fix that), a longer rear brake line is most likely required and longer shocks are DEFINITELY required.

Plus, the FJ coils are sooooo soft it's ridiculous mated up to a stiff IFS front suspension. I know OME coils are pricey, but you will be MUCH happier with them over the FJ coils.

Yeah...I looked into it more today and found out what the actual length of the cruiser springs were. almost 5" longer than stock 4r springs in some cases. So much for saving a buck. I think I may just try the moog cc255 springs that I have read about on here.

Thanks for the input.
