Suspension ques.with kingcoilovers
I hav king coil overs in front and 2" body lift I want to do the rear but not sure what to get I know there are a lot of thread but my issues Are what can I put in rear to lift and go with my truck,ome spring and bilisteinshock any suggestion would help.Also I can crank a little on my king shock to get a little lift on the front? I plan on getting a savage rear bumper so what do I want a 2" or a 3" spring for rear.I dont know what will be best with the king shocks?

Not sure if you've got a 4runner or taco (think savage makes 4runner bumpers, so I'll comment).
on my 4runner I went 890s and 5150s. Its ok. Since I'm not carrying a lot of extra weight, I'm glad I went with the 890s. The problem is that you're comparing >1000$ front end to <500$ out back. For faster driving, you may find your front end out performs your rear end. But, as I recall, at least when I was piecing things together, the next step up in the rear suspension was a big one (price wise).

Bumper vs. Weight
I will add rear bumpers but I thought OME springs and 5150 was a good set up I guess I was wrong I just don't want to add another grand in the rear 400 bucks I about what I wanted to spend for rear lift

You have kings in the front and are being cheap about the back? Just wait man, save your money for a nice set of leafs and some king smooth bodies for the back end.

Deaver has a progressive 8 leaf pack that is 1.5" of lift. Bilsteins will work just fine for now, I wouldn't waste money on fox shocks just wait to get some kings for the back. That's my plan anyways
