I talked to my mechanic, but my dad wants to be sure about this. He said, "Get on the 4Runner thing, and ask them, too." Im the only one in my family who likes off-roading, (he has in Infiniti G35). My question...If I got the performance products 1" lift springs, would I need anything else? New shocks, new bars, new whatevers. Anything else?

I would assume the PP 1" coils will work with stock shocks...if you put em on, lemme know how they ride...i've been thinkin bout gettin em too

New shocks aren't required but if you gto a ton of miles n the stock units it's wise to replace them too and save on the labor.

Another cost effective option is just to go with '99 OEM coils (one inch taller version) and new OEM shocks which can be had for about $400 or so for the whole setup.
 
www.partznet.com

Prices have gone up quite a bit since I shopped there but the coils are about $255 but over at www.shox.com you can get the Tokico shocks which is what the OEM ones are for $209.

Shox also sells the Bils/PP spring setup for $590.

If you can afford the $140 more it would be worth it but the Tokicos and '99 coils aren't bad fro a daily driver with stock off road performance with the 1" more clearance. The PP coils will give you about 2".

It's more of what your budget will allow.

I run the OEM setup and for th intermediate trails I run I do alright but another inch would be nice.
 
for the near 600$ you are talking about to get one inch, go ahead and get the Old Man Emu 2.5 kit, new shocks and springs, nothing else required. you will like the look and the ride ALOT!

The Bil/PP combo netted just over 2" on my friend's 3rd gen and the Bils offer better on-road performance but off road the OME is better due to more shock travel. The OME setup will settle about a half inch after several months or least on the few equipped Runners I've seen.

Yeah I'm from Johnson City. :D Dang Bristol isan't to far, I see Bristol police cars over here all the time and every now and then I head up to Bristol for something.
 
Stock Height?

Which one of the OME shocks is the best to go with the performace springs 1" lift?

OME N91S "Medium" Front Shock Set: 223.50/pr Provides a firmer ride for more aggressive driving and towing.

and

OME N86 Rear Shock Set: 157.00/pr Provides a firmer ride for more aggressive driving and towing.

????????

If I was goinf with the PP springs I would mate them with a set fo the tokico trekmasters. A couple ppl on yotatech have done that and love the ride. I hear billys ride real rough.

I don't think the Bils ride rough;yes,they are firm but nothing like a set of ranchos or the firm OMEs. Also too soft a shocks coupled with the PPs will have bad rebound over bumps.
 
You may know better than myself. I'm not speaking from personal experience just what I've been told by others. I've only seen 2 people go with pp springs and tokico's and they said the ride was great. One person was switching from billy's to tokico's.
 
I dont know if this i weird or not but has anyone heard of people doing the PP lift and add like a 1" spacer to it to get the ride from the spings and a lil more lift.

HA also ife been talkin bout gettin the PP lift for a while and still havent, I want to get'em next month.
