Your local autoparts store... or the dealership.

You must not be looking very hard if your not finding anything.

you will regret buying stock replacement springs. I was about to buy the ome 2 inch lift and i ended up with downey 3 inch lift and i was suprised how little a 3 inch lift gives you. Just buy old man emu springs, only difference from stock is you'll get a lot better ride.

Along with more articulation and more clearance.

They can't call it a lift if it doesn't actually lift it higher than stock.

Hey, just went through this same ordeal. I couldn't find them anywhere either. The dealerships are way too pricey for stock replacement springs like 300+ per spring!!!. Can't link to it direct, http://www.toyotapartsales.com/ drill down through replacement parts and you can find them.

these guys list stock replacement springs for a much more reasonable 120 or so, http://www.generalspringkc.com/leaf_...a/4runner.html but I can't get them to respond to email. Might be worth giving them a call and see if they are still in business.

ended up just ordering the OME springs Deserttoy recommended from these guys

less than $100 per spring including shipping, which is pretty good. supposed to give about 2" lift.

They are a brand. Well more of a sub-brand. They are owned by ARB it's their suspension wing.

They are just a high quality brand that works really well. Much better than stock.

Anyone have an opinion on how the 2" OME springs ride? I've got a pretty harsh ride with the stock springs right now and have been looking at getting OME's to replace them. Just wondering if the OME's will improve the ride at all?

Everyone I know with the 2" OMEs loves them. Hardly looks like a lift at all:

Ride is harsh with the stock springs because you probably have 1" or so of up travel before hitting the bump stops:



If you want stock springs, try JC Whitney
