Pro Comp has a good kit, or Marlin, Trail Gear, All Pro all make great suspension kits. I currently run 3'' procomp lift in the front and 4'' in the rear (4runner top is heavy) and on the street it is bumpy because I have really poor shackle angle right now. On the trail, I run 10 psi and it isn't bumpy at all.

..as a data point, we just put a TG 5" rear spring kit under my buddys 94 4runner. Cut out all the factory 4-link junk (he trashed the whole rear suspension) and swapped in the TG kit, and it seems to be very flexy and soft.
Good luck,

i have another question does the stock front leaf springs have more or less leafs than the rear and also would stock springs have more flex and better ride than this rough county lift i have? thanks again.

Just a thought but did you put the shocks on the right way? They have to be installed the right way or the valving messes up and the shock may not be doing anything at all...
