99 T4R Suspension questions?

[JC41]

With Christmas coming up and everybody wanting a Christmas list from me instead of just giving me money to do my own build I will just give them the info on the parts I want.

I have a 99 Toyota 4runner Limited 2wd riding with 285s (no scrub) and I'm not sure but I'm pretty positive it has a 3" lift but I don't know what brand cause they are messed up. I'm locking to replace my shocks and just trying to know the best options. I like a soft and mushy ride when I'm going over bumps and doing rough off-roading (rough as a 2wd can). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. added picture of truck if it'd help any.

Some pictures of the shocks, springs, and front coilovers/struts would be useful.

Will do in about 30-40 minutes.

Alright I'm sorry I never got back to talk on the pictures but I can tell you it's stock suspensiôn. It's riding on 285's which is why I thought 3 inch

Why bother asking any questions if you get directed to a "sticky" or get told to search? I am sure every question that is posted here daily has been answered sometime in the last 20years our vehicles have been on the road.:frusty: JMHO I will now crawl back under my rock...

Well, he didn't really ask a specific question...
He said "I'm locking to replace my shocks and just trying to know the best options. I like a soft and mushy ride when I'm going over bumps and doing rough off-roading (rough as a 2wd can). Any help would be greatly appreciated!"
I posted links to the stickies in case he hadn't found/read them, and the members that posted them spent a lot of time putting them together to "help" people and give them "the best options". It isn't always the case, but in most situations new members haven't looked at the stickies.

Thanks for the help and links MONTYMTB. Opened my eyes to a lot more ideas for the ole 2Runner. LOL

Sorry if i made you salty Hang10. Asking is just easier than doing countless hours of research. If i cant think of an answer and cant find one in the first 15+ minutes of me surfing the web, I'm going to ask the T4R community, who has never been as rude as you were just then.
I guess hope for any hospitality or patience for people is lost in maryland or atleast for Hang10. JMHO I'll crawl back under my rock now...

Funny thing is Hang10's reply wasn't directed at you. In fact, I read it as supportive of you asking questions, as vague as they may have been.:frusty:

Well Hang10, if CSP is correct then I read it wrong and I deeply apologize for my faulty comments and rudeness!
