Shock and Coil Input

I settled on bilstein shocks to replace my STILL STOCK ones:

http://www.truckspring.com/suspensio...&model=4Runner

Does anyone have any experience with these? I'm hoping to improve the ride a bunch and have read countless good reviews about bilstein shocks in general.

Also, I am fairly set on old man emu coil springs for my rear, but I can't find any that don't provide a 2" lift for the back end:

Many people seem to notice a rear end sag that I don't really notice:



Maybe it's just me. Anyways.. Would you guys recommend old man emu coils with the 2" lift? The site says I would need to adjust my front torsion bars accordingly.

Id go with those springs but you'll need longer shocks to go with the lift

You can't ever go wrong with Bilsteins imo. I have them on our '82, and my '86 will be getting some soon. These are on a crawler and it rides like a Caddy...well sorta lol.

Oh ˟˟˟˟ that's right. Probably just gonna stick with OME shocks and coils together then. Thanks for the help.

PS: Just out of curiosity, when is there a necessity to replace torsion bars? I've always been told that they shouldn't need replacing.
