Hydraulic Bump Stops, or New Coil Springs?

[foyaboya]

I've got a 99' 4Runner and have replaced 2 struts up front(used existing stock springs) and two shocks in the back (existing coil Springs) used Gabriel Ultra's from Autozone (I know I know should have gone with Billstien or other:sobbing. Still riding very rough in the back especially like on railroad tracks etc...). I already plan to do Sway bar bushings as CJ3Flyr did. I've been researching possible fixes. One that i think would be good are these hydraulic bump stops from Radflo or anyother brand Radflo Suspension Technology - Hydraulic Bump Stops cause i think it's bottoming out when i go over the tracks, pothole whatever. Would that soften the blow? Or could i just cut out a section of the bump stop allowing more spring compression? Or replace the coil springs with like Moog (link below) Thanks...

New springs.... and there are several options. Mine road like that till I went with all new shocks, and springs from toytec / OME 3 in lift I couldn't be happier with the ride.

Try grabbing some new coils. How many miles are on them?

Also, you might as well do the bushings too.

Thanks driffter33 I'll go with new springs...maybe give the Gabriel Ultra's 6 months or so to save up for new shocks and springs

NickF I've got 245k miles on these coils, i bought used and i don't think they've been replaced. The bushings are definitely on my to-do list thanks for the link as i have yet to hunt them down online. I'll do both coils and bushings and post pics of the install. I'll probably get the Airlift 1000 kit as well.
:thanks:

I would stay away from crappy cheap Autozone coils. Moog isn't known for being a bonafide "suspension company" and I've never seen or heard of anyone using their coils so I would go with a tried and tested coil like the ones toyteclifts.com sells or go OEM if you don't want any lift. I think Moog makes crap, but that's just because I wasted a couple hundred dollars on their junk (ball joints). Read this too:
