Suspension Ideas, need thoughts
Ok, so here's my story. Got the PP 1" lift with my billies put on in January, and unfortunately its too stiff for my DD, and I am going to be making a change.
I originally wanted to do the OME881/906 with comfort shocks all the way around, but I have discovers that at over $600, its out of my price range. So what I have come up with is doing the Tallest '99 spring option with my current billies. I would then trim the rear cone bump stops to allow more travel in the rear.
My next thought is to also get a set of airbags for the rear for when ever I tow with this or have it loaded with stuff/people/ETC. I don't have any real experience with them, and want to see if people have any thoughts or experiences with them on the 4Runners. Do they hurt the ride at all when they are not inflated? Do they make any noise in the springs (rubbing, ETC)? Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Also, does anyone know the part numbers for the '99 tallest spring?
Thanks!

Mark,
I am not familiar with the air bags either but I definitely know someone on here has them on a Runner because it has been discussed. Personally, I am going with the OME setup as you and have been saving awhile to get them. I think the are the cheapest way to go for a suspension lift. I know toytec76(david) who lives near me and is on this forum has the 3" Revtek lift and he has not had any problems with it and loves the lift kit. You might wanna PM him and see what he thinks.
