2011 4Runner Front Suspension - SPRINGS

[ATL4R]

I thought all 4x4 4Runners came with the same front springs, yet when I go look online at the Toyota catalog, the SR5, the limited, and the trail all specify different springs with different pricing. (The limited even specifies a L and R springs, while the other's say "either side") The trail springs are the most expensive.

What's the difference?

Each model has different suspension components/design, KDSS, XREAS and base suspension. Also each are tuned for different applications.

It would be interesting to know what the difference (if any) there is in the spring rates between the models. Any one know if they are interchangeable?

Do we know which have the highest load rating? I've always heard the FJ springs are 15% stiffer than the 4Runner springs. Now my question is which 4Runner springs are they comparing to the FJ... the SR5? The limited? The Trail? I wonder if anyone could determine the spring rate of these different springs.

Is there a difference between the non-KDSS Trail version and the SR5?
