Coil Overs For '03 4runner

Any Advice On Coil Over Kits For An ;03 4runner?
I'm Not Trying To Raise The Truck Just Yet But Want To Get A Feel For What Others Might Have Used. Donahoe Kit Is What I;ve Been Looking At So Far. Any Other Suggestions?

I personally run the Donahoe's on my 03 and I love them. They come pre-set to a 2.5 lift, so if you don't want any lift at the time, you can crank them down so they won't provide any lift. I don't have anything bad to say about them, they are about as nice as you can get. Do you plan on running your 4runner fast in the dirt/sand? Depending on your use, you could maybe go for another brand that's a bit cheaper, but might have a little less performance wise.

Let us know what your primary wants/needs are, and the help you'll get will be more specific.

Honestly if you don't plan to do some serious stuff coilovers are just way out of price for the average user. Most will definitely be comfortable with the simple spacer setup. Those that want more can get OME's as an all around balance with the stock feel with lift. If you want bling then go with coilovers but expect to spend $$$.

If you dont plan to wheel hardcore go with spacers. I had cornfed make me a 1" spacer and its perfect. I have a level stance, room for the next size tire (265/70R17 which has a lot more options like a load range C). And it looks a lot better, even my wife, who like to wheel in my 92 but doesnt really care about truck looks makes fun of other stock runners.
