    New to the 4Runner life. Just purchased 2001 will 100K. So stoked! Thanks for the warm welcome on the new members post. LINK

    Vehicle has new shocks / struts front and rear but rear is sagging so I think new rear springs are in order. Any recommendation for brand / part#? I want to retain stock ride height and stock spring stiffness. Don't want to make mistake of installing aftermarket trash.

    Also, the "D" indicator bulb on the dash is out. Kindly reply with stock replacement bulb#. I might do full LED refresh later on but stock replacement for now.

    Thanks in advance for the help 4Runners.

    The springs for the 15 inch rims are twice as much?

    Did it come with 15 or 16 inch rims from the factory? If its a limited it came with the 16 inch rims. Takes 15 minutes to swap them out.
