OME is a very popular suspension system for 4runners. You could probably fit 31s on your stock suspension. WabFab is very reputable on yotatech.com.

I would go with the last kit from wab-fab. It's an all coil kit and has proven it's worth time and time again. It's a great kit for the price and many guys run it without problems or regrets.

:lmao: Do a search for Daystar. You'll find a ton of discussion about them here. :

i read a few of those and they all seem to be about specs. im just wondering if they will withstand a slight beating off the road and if they are just decent quality all around.

That depends on what you consider a slight beating.

Others can give you a more detailed explanation, but the impression I've gotten is that they're great for mall-crawling, and moderate trails.... as good as any other spacer lift. Not to denigrate spacer lifts; I'll probably go that route too, since I'm not the type to get crazy on trails.

Stolen from another site ...

Spacer liftsThese systems primarily reuse the stock suspension components and just add spacers to increase ride height. It normally consists of 2 rear spacers to be fitted on the rear coils, 4 spacers to be fitted to the front (2 inside the coilover strut assembly and 2 on top), some include front studs for the strut to allow fitment with spacers on top. The spacers fitted inside the coilover strut are called preload spacers, they essentially add additional spring load to the coil in the strut. The spacers fitted on top are called top-out spacers and the increase the actual total strut length.

Primarily spacer lifts are used to economically increase ride height, they do NOT:
* Increase load carrying capability as the stock rate stay the same
* Improve handling on and offroad
* Improve articulation in most cases
* Improve stability in offroad situations as the stock shocks are normally retained
* Provide ability to carry the weight of aftermarket bumpers, winches, etc
