    Hello-
    I just bought a 2002 4Runner 2WD with 290K miles for my son. runs great, almost all things that need to be replaced on engine have been. One issue we found is suspension is awful, and maybe original.

    What are your thoughts on this configuration. Looking for a moderate lift from this (under 2 inches) Also looking to not break the bank. I know i can get cheaper than the Bilsteins, but I have them on my F150 and love them! Thinking can always get better springs later down the road.

    REAR:
    Moog 81041 Coils
    Bilstein 5100

    FRONT:
    Moog 81088 Coils
    Bilstein 5100 24-248730
    Monroe 904900 Strut-Mate Strut Mounting Kit
    Gabriel 142467 Hardware Kit

    any pros/cons would be very helpful!

    Also buying a Spring Compression tool for the front:
    ABN 11.5in Strut Spring Compressor Tool – Set of 2 (Pair) – Macpherson Spring Compression, 13/16in Socket 1/2in Drive
