My 4Runner is a 2001 4WD. My ass is starting to ride low and make a click sound when it hits a good enough bump.. I already know that this happens to a lot of 4runners.. Would like some opinions as to what i would benefit most from, fixing the stock suspension or lifting it. I'm not even sure what is causing the problem so idk what i woul fix... If you have any insight on it I'd greatly appreciate it.
:thanks:

Not very helpful guys! lol!

I personally, like the looks of a lifted 4Runner. I've always liked customized vehicles, as it adds personality to them. Whether I drove my 4 door 89 Chevrolet Celebrity, 87 Pontiac Grand-Am, 87 Pontiac 6000, 87 Nissan Pathfinder, 95 Chevy Monte Carlo, and now my 4Runner. I always went the custom route.

My opinion, if you're going to replace something on the truck, replace it with something upgraded!
 
About Rear Sag

If you didn't notice the sticky thready there's a lot of good information. Took Me awhile to decide if I wanted to lift up 3" or stay close to stock. Decided to go 3 because I thought I'd kick myself down the road.

Anyways, check out that link and get back with us on a closer decision. A lot of not so sures go for the old man emu 906's. Give you back to an even height. Fixes sag. Do You tow any? Or load the rear down a lot? Subwoofers, toolboxes, Etc?
 
No i dont really tow anything. Not at the moment anyways. I will probably go with a 3" lift because i plan on getting a bigger tire. Though i want to make sure that the sag, and strange clicking sound and feel will go away if i do that.
 
I'd point you at the OME 890s

The Old Man Emu 890s are a good all around rear spring that many of us are running.

If you do nothing to the fronts-you may end up with a bit of rake-meaning the back end will stick up a bit more than level with the front.

Some folks hate that look-others think it is fine. I kind of like it myself.

The choices are endless. Sonoran Steel website is a wealth of info for lifting 3rd gen 4Runners.

Another fine alternative is the 99 model "tall" springs.

890s will give too much rake without taller springs up front. I vote 906s
