I'm about to order 5100's, OME 885's and Toytec superflex rear coils. They are close to the same price on Wheelrs off road and toytec but which one has the fastest shipping and best customer service? These are the two websites I have found to be best rated and cheapest.

Any comments on this are appreciated!

i wont ever deal with ToyTec again after how they treated me when i needed to return something.

Go Wheelers.
 
I can't speak for Toytec but Wheelers was great to deal with when I got my upper control arms. I'll be using them again in the future.
 
I decided to go with wheelers off road since it was WAY cheaper even with the Toytec discount. the 5100's on all 4 corners was $324 on Wheels off road and $399 on Toytec. Just a little info if you're deciding between the two.
 
I'm in the same boat. I'm debating between toytec/eibach /superflex and OME 885/superflex. The toytec setup has front springs already installed. $150 to install springs at wheelers seems a little high. I'm on the fence about doing the springs myself. I know the coil rates are different but the 620# eibach's might encourage me to get a bumper too. What did they charge you for shipping ? Since I'm on the east coast it's probably double what you paid.
 
Wheelers charged me 48 for shipping and Toytec was charging me 60.

5100's all around/OME 885/superflex

Toytec- $780 shipped
Wheelers- $728 shipped

Yeah I wouldn't do the spring install through wheelers. Use this method and you won't need to get them compressed by a shop or rent a compressor. No compressor method

Eh? You still need to compress them to get them on the struts in the first place, I don't think you can assemble the springs to the struts on the truck?

I second this. I tried the no compressor method with the 885 and it didnt work. I fought it for a couple hours and went to autozone and got a spring compressor. The 885s are a little to tall without compressing them.

Both companies are great. Toytec exchanged my 884 for 885 with out any questions before ever installing them.
 
I haven't done the no compressor method but I've read it had worked for quite a few people. You still have to compress them you just don't need a spring compressor. I'll give it a go and let you guys know!
 
I had a great experience with Wheelers as well.

I did the no spring compressor method and it was a breeze but I went with Moog springs so not an apples to apples comparison with the folks that used stiffer or longer springs?

Did you go with the MOOG 81090 (stock 4runner replacement) or the 81108 (07-09 fj replacements)?

Hi nasdamus,
I went with Moog 81088 springs for the V8 4WD w/AC, these springs are taller than the factory FJ springs plus as I'm sure you already know, they only cost $44.79!
