Rear spring suggestions?

My '95 SR5 Runner has classic ass-end sag. OME and Downey seems to be the favorites for springs. Do either make a stock height spring with, say, 10-20% overload for the trailer? Ride quality is important... this is my DD. Oh, and NO lift

And for those who have 'em already; Who's shocks did you go with?

I did OME. If you buy the springs, you have to buy the shocks as well. The springs are stiff and the shocks are soft. When you do it right, the ride is really good.

I went with medium rate OME springs and their Nitrocharger shocks. Raised the back end so there is no sag. Carries a load and still maintains ride quality with no droop.

All in all, a good purchase.

How to fix the 4Runner sag

I had a 92 with really bad sag in the back. My boss' brother owns Inchworm, so I called him and he set me up with a set of springs that bring up the back about 2 or 3 inches, and make it just like stock, but they're stronger and don't sag even with a heavy load. Inchwormgear.com and E-mail to ask for the springs that he sold to his brother's employee for his 4runner.

Fired off an email to Inchworm. Called a few local 4x4 shops... OME's available @ $250, but 4-8 weeks.

I threw air springs between the leafs and the frame. It's nice to say the least...still looking for shocks though

Leaving my stock springs, adding Daystar 1.5 " spacers and Gabriel High Jackers (air shocks) to the back for adjustability when towing my bike trailer. Haven't installed yet, as the shocks are special order and haven't come in yet.

PS- '90 Runner, 2wd, stock height (until spacers go in).
