Hi, I've been lurking her for a bit now and I decided that it would make sense to sign up and bounce some questions off y'all

I've got an 02 SR5 4Runner that I use exclusively for towing and short drives, and only every once and a while going off road. I am buying a 16' trailer to haul my race gear in as an upgrade over the current 8' one I use and I thought that upgrading the suspension would be a wise move to make to handle the extra weight of the trailer. It currently has the stock setup under it with some 213,000 miles and has sagged accordingly.

From what I researched on here, I am leaning towards getting the OME 881 front coils and 890 rear coils with the firm valved OME struts and shocks. Would this be the best suited setup for towing a heavy loads long distances? Also, is there anything specific I need to know before I start considering the high mileage?

Plus if anyone has any other suggestions for towing a heavier load it would be much appreciated!

890's will sag, get 891's with firm shocks. Also get airbags for the rear. Investing in a $50 transmission cooler is a great idea.

Okay, I have minimal knowledge about towing springs, so thanks! The total load will be about 3500-4000# loaded with race gear if that would influence anything either.

Yup 891's would be a better fit. Airbags wouldn't be a bad idea but not absolutely necessary.
