Rear Suspension

I think my 4Runner is starting to sag. I can't afford alot, and sense I only drive this vehicle 6 months out of the year, parked the other 6 months, I checked out eBay. Anyone ever try any of these:

Not really looking (or needing) a lift. The 4Runner is high enough right now.

I wouldn't put shocks to fix saggy ass. I would change the springs or put some spacers.

O.K. I was just going by what you said. Those are just shocks b.t.w., not a lift kit & they are cheap @ $25 each

you don't want gastro shocks...i've got them (my truck had them i got it) and they call for a stiff ride,also they are a pain to put in and/or remove

New springs are the way to go, Downey is a popular choice. I can personally vouch for their 1.5" springs. Check classifieds for a used set.
Spacers are a cheaper alternative and do work but I have no personal experience with them.
