    Hello, my name is Dylan Mouanoutoua and I was just wondering if you could give me some advice for my 3rd gen 4Runner that I plan to build up. I’m just a little stuck on what to run for my rear springs. I’m probably gonna run the 6112/5160 bilstein kit. Most of my confusing is what spring I should run in the back. I had suggestions on running LC 861s, Dobinsons C59-675V, OME 289, or Dobinsons C59-331. I plan to run a tire swing out, a drawer system, and maybe some other things in the back. I ideally still want to have a 2.5in+ lift in the back with all the load. Any advice for my suspension kit? Thanks

    Welcome from Wisconsin! The shock package sounds good... very popular setup. Were the suggestions you have not seem right? Guess I would call one of the experts on suspension, but if it were my choice, I'd go with the OME.
