    Hi guys,
    I have a stock suspension (2001 4runner 130k) the back sags a lot and the front doesn’t feel great either. I drive on the beach a good amount in NY, but mostly use as a DD and plan on driving to California. Not into off-roading too much but want to be somewhat capable.

    I want a slight lift maybe 2”

    Was thinking OME coilovers all around medium duty. Priced out just under 1000 for all 4 without install. Cheap price is important but I do want quality

    thoughts and suggestions appreciated!

    Welcome to the forum, i do not have any experience with ome coil overs, but i had Bilstien 5100’s on my 2002 and really liked them,it was set for 2” lift.

    If you're using it as a DD and you don't have a bunch of added weight with sliders, winch, ect......you might want to consider the light load (stock weight) springs if they make them for your application.

    The medium load springs could be a little stiff or jarring as a DD to some but vehicle handling is personal taste so you may think it's just fine. Just something to consider.

    But OME looks like solid product and they get good reviews.

    You could also mix and match with OME coils and Bilstein shocks (like Slvrslug mentioned above). People do stuff like that all the time with great results.
