    Howdy
    So I have a 07 4Runner Sport V6 4WD and I installed Bilstein 5100s a few months ago, put the front shocks on the highest level so now the 4Runner sits even, and kept the stock coils.
    I am loving traveling off the beaten path and want to get more into overlanding. I need a lift, it’s to my understanding that I can buy new front and rear coilovers which will lift my car, but have to put the front shocks back down to lowest setting. I want it to stay reasonably level so I’m thinking 3” in the front and 2” in the back. What brand coils would you recommend?
    Sorry for the long message haha, I’m new at this so any input would be much appreciated!

    Thanks!
    I found OME front and rear coils that fit my desired lift size, what are your thoughts on OME coils?

    Honestly. I'm too new to 4Runners to give a meaningful opinion. That said, I'm certain there's a well informed answerer to that question just around the corner.

    What spring rate are they? Do you have any additional weight on your truck? Bumpers, winch, ect?
