Rear coil options for 2 inch lift?

I am looking to replace the stock suspension on my 3rd gen. This time around I am going with with Kings. I tried the bilsteins 5100's w/ tundra coils in the front and rear OME 906 220lbs in the rear. I hated the ride. It was very bouncy. felt like I was on a pogo stick.

This time, I am going with
Front: King 2.5 25001-151 w/ extended travel
Rear 25001-334-OR-334A

I talked to King and they recommend I don't go over 1-2 inches in the rear. So I've tried the 2 inch OME 906 220lbs in the past and I am pretty sure those were garbage since I don't have rear armor yet. I think, but I am not sure I can get the OME 900 180lbs and get a 2 inch lift as well? Otherwise I will have to stick with rear highlander coils (48231 - 35210) or even 5th gen 4runner coils? I heard the 5th gen is giving people 1.5 lift in the rear?

I'm not sure the OME 900 that you listed will work. The fitment guide shows they are for 2nd gen 4Runners. 5th Gen coils in the rear don't seat fully/correctly and some people have problems with them rubbing on the panhard bar. What about using stock coils (or 99 talls) with spacers?

I guess that would be a good option. Any other rear coils I dont know about? I heard ICON makes a 1 inch rear. How does that compare to the highlander.

I don't think anyone makes a 1 inch spring (besides OME 906) so you're pretty much limited to spacers at this point or going higher than 1-2". I think OME 890's net around 2.5" of lift. That's the next shortest new spring that I'm aware of.
FJ Cruiser stock springs might be an option for you.

I ran FJ coils in the rear for while. They gave me about a 1.5" lift. They were comfortable and I liked them, but wanted a little more rake.

I carry alot of tools daily, and when we go camping I have 4 passengers, a kayak, and alot of other stuff so I needed heavier rate coils.

I switched over to Dobinsons C59-137v coils and absolutely love them in every regard. They are a 2" coil for added weight.

I think the Dobinson 131 is what your looking for. It's a 2" coils for stock weight.

I'm gonna let my buddy check out that kit, too! He got this new 4runner project after we install the brake pads and rotiform wheels on his truck and clear the garage.
