Does moog springs lift rear sag or 2" spring spacers does it better?
My 94 4runner is sagging at the rear... Ive heard that moog springs are good and heard the same thing with spring spacers... I need opinions on which one is better...thanks!

good info and write up here. OME was utilized, which i have seen many members with good feedback on their products. I plan to do this to my runner in the next week or two.

New springs are the cure, spacers are bandaids.

 New springs are the fix 
I used Moog springs on my 94 and I was happy with the look and ride. For everyday street use the Moog is a great replacement choice.

Yes on longer shocks with lift springs.
As for where to buy, just search. Or pickup a 4WD magazine and check the ads.

Looks great! I did the same. I wonder if I should have also changed the original coil spacers. What's the maximum size spacer I can use safely, and which kind is best?!

This looks like the fix I'm looking for. I think replacing the springs and shocks will give me that added lift from the old sag. I don't want big tires and wheels or anything like that and we just do light trail stuff out to our snake farm and the lake. Ride quality is still important as my 95 is a d/d. I run Michelin 31 x 10.5 on factory rims and will continue to do so. I will go with whatever I can get through Keystone. Pro Comp and Rancho are the cheapest shocks but I can only get Pro Comp springs. Do I need to replace the front springs too you think? Or just the rear with shocks all the way around? I really have to say this is the nicest forum I have ever joined. I look forward to the journey ahead fixing up my much loved T4R. I have found a no rust tailgate, bumpers and a rack locally which I am going to jump on!

Springs...
Just installed procomp springs at the rear..lifted the rear at least 3"... Im just waiting for the shocks to come in. I got procomps for front and rear... Now the problem is the front... I cranked up the torsion bars 2" higher... The ride is still ok... But the front is now lower than the rear... Will ball joint spacers do the trick? Where can i get them?
