What springs w/ Bilsteins for my '99 Runner?

I'm getting Daystars spacer 1.5" lift all around. I have addco swaybars with old Bilsteins. Just looking for on road handling.

What springs should I use with new Bilsteins. OE's or what?
Any competition for Bilsteins out there (for on-road handling)?

thx

I'd probably just keep the stock springs on there. Maybe get some new OE springs from a '99 or something?

I am not meaning to sound rude but you should probably spend some time searching. There are a ton of threads on here about just about every product and application. If you did search and could not find what you are looking for maybe just put that in the initial post.

I have a 2000 and put the 99 OEM Springs on a few months ago. Got over and 1" of lift initially but now the rear sags. I would not recommend them.

Thanks. Now that was good info TSTUNDRA. I will look at other springs now, why have it sag again.
I need a spring with OE '99 tallness, designed for the road. Anyone have suggestions?

Am I the only one confused as to why this guy's looking to buy the tallest OEM springs, not to mention the body lift, to increase ON-road performance??

Get some 01-02 springs to lower your ride a bit. Unless you live in Wisconsin. The roads are terrible up there.

Half the reason that anyone lifts....for the look.

Don't want to increase on-road performance, but just trying not to lose it.
