I got them at the local O'Reilly's and they were about 45 bucks a pop. I did a search and it looks like you can only get the reflex's for the front, but you can get sensa-tracs all the way around and they are a couple dollars less.

I put a set of springs I cut off some old front struts that were behind the neighbour's house under my 86 reg cab 4x4...I think they were VW. I lifted the back at the bumper with my buddy's tractor bucket and used a bottle jack between the spring and frame to get a bit more separation. I used a spring compressor wound as tight as I dared, tapped the springs in and the larger end went right over the upper bumpstop, and the lower end sat over the rubber bumpstop. Had the back end almost off the ground over a good dip and they never moved. Leveled the truck perfectly. Now that it's dead, I'm going to take them back out as a plan b for my 4runner. Measure the inner diameter of some JY springs and find a set that is the same or only slightly larger than your bumpstops. As far as height, mine were probably a foot or so tall.
