02 2wd Recommended suspension parts

I have a 2002 2wd with 119,000 miles. Its got the sagging rear and wanders when driving on windy days. I want to spiff everything back up. First I'd like to raise it only about 1" above stock. I had an 01 a few years back and put new shocks and springs on it from OME. It was raised a bit more than I'd like with this one. So I'm looking for recommended springs and shocks (i don't carry any weight above stock 4runner). Which OME (or other brand) do I need? Also, what are the recommended suspension parts (bushings, etc) that I need to replace. Please note I have limited funds and don't have to have over the top stuff..I just want a comfy ride.. would Moog be out of the question? Is there a suspension "kit" that has all the things I need that can be recommended? Thanks!

Where can I find front coilovers with 7 coils like what I have. Everywhere I go they only have the 10 coilovers and try to pass them off as the same thing.

Get components and build your own. If you are happy with your current ride height, keep the stock springs. Get new front shocks and top hats (if needed) and assemble them.

That said, more coils will allow for more linear response - it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
