    I finally closed the 2nd gen explorer chapter of my life and opening my 4runner chapter, I bought a 2001 4runner that i was told had 114k miles but come to find out has 278k miles, its currently getting a new engine out in as i just moved and dont have time to do it myself, but i need to replace the rear suspension, I'm not looking for a full lift kit right now as i want to replace the ball joints all the way around, and do a few other things before a lift, so ONLY the rear, it will be a dd most of the time but will be doing a little off roading and will have a rooftop tent on it for the entire summer every summer, what do you suggest for replacement rear springs and such from complete stock

    I had my rear springs replaced under a recall. You might want to check if it’s been done?
