I thought on getting an emu or toytec but right now I'm short on money. After a big research, and because my truck urged new suspensions I ended up buying these:
Moog Front Coil Set 81088 96-00 $54.49
Moog Rear Coil Set 81041 96-00 $38.40
4 KYB Monomax F&R 236.99
KYB Strut Mount set SM5184 $59.23
I rented the spring compressor at autozone and did the job myself.

How did this setup work out? I have a 2000, 2wd, 2.7 4cyl., Auto with 15" steelies and was going to try that same set up with Billy 4600's.
I researched the spring heights and weight specs on the Federal Mogul site and the part #'s you listed are taller than the OEM springs for my rig. Spring rates are the same for all models.
(1.25"Taller Front and 1" Taller Rear on 4wd with 16" wheel)
Seems like an affordable alternative to GAZILLIONS of options out there!?!
Shit gives me a headache!

Hi, It has been almost 10,000 miles. I go off-roading every month. So far it is holding well, I don't have any sag at all. Here is a picture that I posted of how the truck looks after the suspension was installed. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/198024-ko2-265-75-16-installed.html#post2028337
I did a lot of research and this setup was the best that I could buy with less money. Once these one wears out I'm planning on going with Bilstein or something similar but for now I will push this one as far as I can.

Wow! It sits pretty level too! So ride is good...not harsh? It looks like all of the springs listed for those years have the same spring rates. The only differences I see on the Federal Mogul site are the lengths...with the part #'s you list being the tallest.
I'm really surprised others haven't done this lift since it's pretty cheap and seems like the spring rates are in line with factory?!?
I'm going to use Billy 4600's and see what happens. I'll keep everyone posted.

These MOOG coils are 1.25" Taller Front, 1" Taller Rear over a 2000 4Runner, Base, 2wd, Auto's OEM setup.
Moog Front Coil Set 81088 96-00 $54.49
Moog Rear Coil Set 81041 96-00 $38.40

lbg46 is your rig 2wd or 4wd? Wondering if this will give me the height I want on my 2000 SR5 4wd with 220,XXX on the original suspension...
OK guys, springs have settled a bit. I'll post before and after measurements later today.
Here is what we have done and what we started with.
2000 4Runner Base, 2.7 3rz, 2wd, Auto, 15" Stock Steelies
Front Springs - Moog 81088 (2000 4Runner, 4wd, 16" Wheel)
Front Shocks - Bilstein 4600 HD #24-188234 (2wd Specific)
Rear Springs - Moog 81041 (2000 4Runner, 4wd, 16" Wheel)
Rear Shocks - Bilstein 4600 HD #24-024518
At first I gained about 3" of lift and had a noticable negative rake. After settling, I'm not sure?!? Like I said...I'll measure today and post.
Front was a little bouncy at first but seems to be clearing up after putting new sway bar links on.
Rear seems a bit soft?!? I may need to go to OEM 99 Talls or 906's?!? I'm going to wait until my new sway bar links come in before I make this call. The OEM links are SHOT and falling apart?!?
Looks like about 2-2.5" of lift. It rides SOOOOOOO much better than it did...but it's still a little soft for my liking "I think"?!?
