97 4runner suspension options

I need to fix the saggy suspension on my 4runner and I've been browsing trying to figure out what I want to do. Its my dd with very mild wheeling right now. Whenever I have more time I will wheel more but working 2 jobs keeps me busy. I want to keep it close to stock height. I've been looking at 99 stock coils, lc coils, ome, toytec, etc,etc. I'm trying to keep it cheap but whatever I replace
I want it to last me a while and I want to do it right. Just a mild lift. 1-2 inches and no spacers or anything. What is everybody's opinion?

You might get flamed for this one a little bit.

Try to use the search feature before making a really general post like this. This site and others like it are overloaded with information about lifts and lift options. You could literally spend hours and hours reading the wealth of information from some really knowledgeable people. That said, you have to actually search for it and try to find it before it will appear on your screen. /sarcasm.

Here's the thread on lift options for the third generation 4Runner. Do some reading here and that will give you an idea of what to research further:

I was waiting for someone to post something like that. I have been searching and I'm really tired of looking at countless threads on my phone. I don't have regular access to a computer right now. I figured someone would post that.

99 front coils with OME 906 in rear. New Bilstein shocks. You can buy 99 front springs from one of the online parts dealers like Toyota of Dallas. The bilsteins can be bought at amazon.com or shox.com.

Btw I meant the search feature part of that post. But thank you for the link. I've been browsing through so many different threads, I can't keep track of them all. That link has pretty much everything right there. That should answer most all my questions. Thanks!

The ome 881 says 2.5 in of lift. How much will my arb affect that? I was thinking going with about 2 in in the front and 2.5-3 in the back.
Would OME 881 in front and OME 890 accomplish that?
