Trying to fix my suspension mistake

Hello everyone. I have a 98 4runner, 4wd, with a 2.7 4 cylinder engine. About 4 years ago, I replaced the struts/shocks with a Tokico brand replacement (part numbers unknown at this point) and the springs were OME 906/881. The problem I had is that the front sat higher than the rear. I remedied that by adding Dayco ride levelers in the rear, giving me the stance and height I wanted.

The problem I have now is that the ride has gotten bouncier than I can stand. I'm thinking the struts and shocks I got from Ebay are standard height components and having them stretched at little longer than they are supposed to be caused them to wear out sooner than expected.

This truck is a 99% on-road vehicle that only sees "off-road" when we get alot of snow. I like the height of the truck, I just need to make it less bouncy.

Any one have any thoughts on this?
Thank you
Adam

Since you've added about 2-3" of lift, the shocks are probably extending out as you suspect.

OME struts and shocks go well with OME components... If you're willing to pay $300 for all new stuff...
 
OK-
Where is the best place to get OME parts now-a-days?

I think I bought the springs from a Toyota Dealer online, (they are in Texas, about all my memory has right now)

thanks
adam
