    Greetings I am glad I found this group

    I need some experts to help me with recommendations for my 1997 4Runner SR5 V6 4x4.

    I find the current suspension extremely harsh. The streets in the Dominican Republic are not getting any better.

    I am looking for parts to make the suspension as SOFT as possible.

    I think the best components to replace would be the shocks, struts and springs? But what do I know :der:

    Keeping the stock height is important. Attached are some pictures. Please help.

    would you say you are hitting bumps and stuff at speed? I spend some time on logging roads, which are bumpy and what not, so I went with the ironman setup, and it has been good so far.

    Not so much "hitting bumps and stuff at speed" but with so many pot holes and bad lighting for night driving you are going to run over them each and every drive out on city streets and in and around Santo Domingo. I'm afraid that my Dental fillings will pop out :D
