You only replaced the shocks and not the springs? Or did you do both?

just the shocks.

The springs will help you with the rear sag.

Any idea what i might be looking at in cost? Parts & Labor? By the way thanks for responding

You may want to check with your local dealer as my 97' SR5 had a recall on the rear springs to fix the sagging problem. I took mine in last summer and they put new springs and bump stops in the rear which so far has corrected the problem. The only bad thing is the bump stops are a little longer and I have noticed that with a few people in the back seat and either a trailer or boat hooked up and some gear in the back you may hit them going over speed bumps or in and out of driveways.

Do you remember the recall number? I have a 97 SR5 and would like to look further into this.

id do this as well

check car-part.com for 99 4runner stock coil struts and rear coil springs

this will give you about 1.5 inchs of lift and cost maybe 80 bucks depending on how good of a bargain person you are

thats what I would do.
