3rd Gen 4runner lift (Upstate, SC)
I have a new suspension on the way so I will have my current setup off in ~ 2 weeks.
front: OME 883 springs and 5100 Bilstein front shocks,
rear: 80 series front springs and factory 80 series shocks, the rear shocks need to be replaced as they leak but could get you buy until you could afford a new set.
$350 for the complete setup.
3/10/14 Update:
I pulled the front shocks and coils last weekend. I think the front shocks need to be replaced or rebuilt. If you have a wheeling rig and not a DD they would probably be OK. I replaced them with some 20K mile OMEs and the same springs and they smoothed the ride out considerably. Planning on getting new tires in the next few weeks so that will hopefully smooth out the rest of the ride.
Rear: I have a lead on a set of used 80 series shocks that I can probably let go instead of the damaged ones.
I'll take $300 + shipping on the complete kit. Which includes Bilstein 5100 fronts with 883 mounted Rear 80 series springs and shocks (have to confirm I still have access to the good rear shocks).
Front uninstalled before OME going in: (No cleaning involved just pulled them off after all the nasty weather we have had.)

I have since painted the bumpers to match. Hopefully this give you an idea of lift.
Pre front bumper, little flex. Hey at least it is not in a driveway.
Loaded down with gear for 7k mile trip across country last summer. This pic is in Badlands or Arches NP.
Before armor, 3rd row installed:

Sorry fro the delay everyone. I still have the lift. However I have been slow at making the swap to my new lift. Rear is out and ready to go. Front will be as soon as I can get work to give me a time for an alignment.

I have not been able to swap the front lift at this point. Rear has been pulled for a few months.
I hope to get it done soon, just been busy with work and family. When I swap the front I will message everyone who has sent me PMs. Sorry for the delay.

I posted this in September.
Currently the front has not been swaped. I work on my vehicles myself. 4 kids, full time job and other activities including being a volunteer for several other things keeps you busy. Should I also point out that we are now down to one car in the family?
As I posted in September, when I get everything swapped I will message everyone. I honestly thought I would have it done by now. I am sorry for the delay.

No, I still have not pulled and swapped the new lift in. I did buy another vehicle, which ahs turned out to be another project. It never ends.

Still here. I sent out several PMs to people who asked in the past.
I also have my tires/rims listed on here. 255/85/16 KM2s froms are ~ 10% and cupped rears are ~ 25% on 5 star 4runner rims. Set of 4 $450.
