    I know this has been discussed on here, but I can’t find it anywhere. I’m looking for the rating on the stock front coilover spring for a 5th Gen. if you know the rears, I’ll take that too, thanks!

    I’ve always assumed that the front springs are 500(lbs/in) and that after market springs run 600, 650, and 700. The Toyota stock spring rate seems to be a well kept secret, though, if no one on here doesn’t know what it is!

    According to nimby in an old post I can’t find now:
    “The front coils are something close to 580lbs on the SR5 and Offroads. Pro's have 550lb coils up front. I think all 4runners have a 180lb rear spring. “
