Preamble: I've purchased a 99' SR5 2WD and the previous owner had done an DIY lowering hack job to the coil springs. Heated / Compressed .... When test driving it just felt like stiff setup and not necessary noticeable height difference I thought among other 2WD 4runners. Upon further driving slightly rough road conditions seemed to remove your fillings. A closer look at the coil springs revealed the destruction. 
I've decided it is a must to replace the coil springs and have priced out a set of four which will cost about $150. Also purchased Daystar's 2.5" spacer lift $140. I know it would have been ideal to just purchase a complete spring lift but the budget is very tight considering there is a million other things this truck needs before I'll be content.
Question: When shopping for springs on Car-Parts.com (Junkyard Source) there are different coils in regards to Rim size and 4WD models. I've purchased a set of 16" wheels to replace my original 15"s and I would like the additional height the 4wd offers. But I need something that works the first time around. It is a 99' model if it makes a difference. What should I be looking for??
