I love the stock height of my 99 4runner 4x4 but its way too soft when i go over bumps or turn a corner.. and not to mention when i pick up 2 bags of 50lb softener salt or home project stuff, my rear sags way too much. This 4runner is just strictly family suv and stays on the road so i dont need to lift, plus my wife is barely tall enough to put our 4 month old in the back seat as it is now. i was wondering if i could get advice on what springs i should go with that would leave me with stock ride height but are a stiffer spring than oem that wouldnt sag with an extra 100-150lbs in the rear. I was thinking of going with the bilstein BE5-2451 shocks for the rear and bilstein BE5-2450 for the front. any help on the choice of springs would be greatly appreciated and if you guys can help me out on the best place to get them.. thanks!
replacing original shocks/springs with new, keeping stock height.

More than likely you will get a negative rake going with the Billys, at least I did, so I had to install the 906s in the rear and kept the OEM used front springs (still have OME 881s in the box). With that, I gained close to 2"s.
I'd stay with the Tokicos stuts/shocks. One to two folks have replaced both front and rear springs with Moog made ones and been happy with them.
Could you take a picture of that Tercel Sport? I had an older Tercel one before some guy T boned me into a skating rink.

so either the moog springs all around or the ome 906's in back with moogs in the front .....and and the KYB Gas-A-just struts in the front and the Rancho RS5000's in the back is the general consensus?.... yea ill take a picture of that tercel... 230,000 miles, fill up every 2 weeks on that tercel sport and still running strong!.. yea ill take some pics of it this weekend and put them in my profile.. gotta clean the cars this weekend too!
